Finally, A Good Play
It finally happened - last night. I played at the Renforth Boating Club in a room no bigger than my kitchen with Deek McCluskey, Kenny Innis and Lorraine Goldie at a private function for some of Deek's relatives. I was totally relaxed and played the best I've ever played while standing in front of people. It was a small crowd of probably no more than 25 people.
Did I make mistakes? Sure I did, lots of 'em, but it was still one of the best playing experiences I've ever had. I'm not sure why I was relaxed so much; maybe I'm finally becoming confident that "I can do it." No, that's not it. I just had a good night. Did I sound like Earls Scruggs? Uh, no - it wasn't that good!
I sure hope this experience continues into the next several times I get to play in front of people, and I especially hope I play with as much confidence on December 8 at Harbour View High School. Wish me luck.
