I should clarify, by exposure, I mean getting out to more of these local open mics ...if you're prone to worry, then worry about your next gig, not your last...if you want to get over any jitters early on and/or win the crowd over early then try start by giving them a singalong chorus tune like Teach Your Children or Roy's Dream Baby or whatever then once the ice is broken, break into some of your more intense listening tunes (maybe the bluesy, I Can't Make You Love Me?) ...anyhow, keep rockin, bluesin, or folkin  |
oh geez...thanks for the Ibanez
...and the advice
. I'm not really interested in more exposure though. Perhaps 20+ years ago or so, I'd have more ambition and take this more seriously. I like the idea of a singalong and I even like playing/singing Dream Baby (Cindy Walker - Roy didn't write this one). A great one to do of course...I'd love to play the Coconut Song
. I don't feel quite so nervous any longer - probably as a result of having to be on a beta blocker for almost a month now...that helped ALOT!
I'm more concerned about technique, etc., and just not being good enough to please an audience. I don't want them to have to suffer through my performance!
