Last night I played a set at ROCKS downtown. It was a great show and I felt both honored and privileged to share the stage with some very talented folks.
I think I did okay for my first real gig. I was a little nervous but I managed to make it through the whole set and I think I covered my couple of mistakes pretty well. The crowd was very generous with their applause and seemed to enjoy the music, which feels really good.
I played five songs, including a couple new songs that nobody’s ever heard before. The newest is a country/western tune called “Hold On To Me” I wrote just a few days ago and I closed my set with it. Someone in the audience was singing harmony along with me which I thought was pretty neat.
Here’s a video of the performance my friend shot from the audience:
And here’s an edited stereo mix MP3 of the song suitable for iPods and such:
