Rockin' It

I got to do something I've always wanted to do on Saturday. Well more accurately, something I've always wondered what it would be like to do. I got up on stage with my guitar mentor Steve and played a couple of songs at a 'groovey pub'.

I'm not the worlds greatest guitarist, but I do love music so I guess that counts for something. I say I've always wondered what it would be like because until Saturday I'd never played in a public venue before. Maybe we all have a 'stars in the eyes' moment, mine usually occur in the shower where in my imagination I'm rockin it in front of a huge crowd at some expansive stadium...

So Saturday was something of a milestone and if I'm truthful, I was not all that good. I missed a couple of chords changes and the sound equipment was not the best (it was great if you were at the end of the bar, not so good if you were on stage) so it was hard to hear what the others were doing. So the good news here is that I've realised a life long dream of playing in band, at a pub in front of a (admittedly small) audience. Something worth sharing I think.

Almost, but not quite there yet...
