We did it!! The Stringbenders played our first gig tonight. The local arts outreach program is sponsoring a singer/songwriter festival this weekend and we played out in front of the theater as people arrived for the main concert. I mainly played guitar but I pulled the Kimble oval out for WBB, A Chokin' Farewell, and B'grass Stomp. We had a lot of fun. And made some $$$ too. Let's see, $21 divided by three.....yessir, that's a whole $7 each!
We played all instrumental tunes. Some slow, some fast. I've been working on my fancy crosspickin' on guitar and we're doin' a few tunes like that. Still gettin' our set list put together. But tonight we played for about an hour and a half, with no set list, and had no issues coming up with tunes to play. Although I did flub one tune. It's my turn to pick one, so I suggest Soldier's Joy. I go to kick it off on guitar and my mind goes stone cold blank. Can't remember it to save my life!! Soldier's-freakin-Joy, which I've only played 1,789 times, and I can't remember it!! LOL Gotta love live performances. Can't wait to do it again. We had more fun than a two peckered puppy dog! ;-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
