Thanks for checking out and commenting on the video Steve!! Believe it or not, I really wasn't nervous this time around. I was a bit anxious because I wanted it to go well, but I didn't experience that rising nervous feeling within like the last time. Even after things didn't quite go so well, my nerves didn't kick in. I thought I was relaxed the first time around, but not really when I go back and look at it compared to this.

Many people have told me the same thing - keep going...learn more songs and get out there and play. In the process I hope to continually improve my skill.

I look forward to playing in a situation where I can see the audience. The applause at the end is nice, but it would be good to see if people are moving
to the music - heads bobbing, air guitar, singing along, etc. The stage lights in this situation blind and cook you (it got HOT up there!).
I dawned on me that this thread has basically turned into a blog. It's fun...and I'm glad people enjoy reading.

Cheers!
