...So, Im in a band.....

Post Reply New Topic

I am playing a show tonight....and I haven't really practiced for it either.
Lately I mainly play solo and acoustic...and I wear an elaborate costume.

I have a big problem when playing alone...of "blanking out"...My mind goes blank...my eyes are open, but I can't see the audience....I forget my songs...I forget what songs I want to play...even if I have a set list.....and I can only stay on the stage for a little while....Here are two videos...one is an open mic at a coffee house....the other....you can't really see me...but it is on the stage of my own venue.....

This is me at super happy....I was using a "song raffle" gimmick....People wrote down songs on slips of paper and dropped them into a tin that also had my own songs written on slips of paper...and that is what the first person chose...
