Gigs
I will be the new bard at the WCC as of sometime mid November.
I have been writing songs pretty actively for about a year now and have a small set to play as my 'new composition' requirement as bard.
I also have a gig on the 19th at the Diesel Playhouse staff variety show. I am going to play (for the first time this new material, and in general in front of people in about 6 years) some of these songs I've been working on.
I have debilitating state fright and an over sensitivity when it comes to my art.
I figure 'What the fuck?' regarding this unnatural fear of vocal/guitar performance.
If I can negotiate a deal with a bunch of contrary assholes and not be nervous why should I be nervous singing in a room of friendly people?
If I can shout down some drunken fuck threatening to shoot me in front of a club for $12 and hour why can't I play guitar in front of co workers?
If I can happily let people bash me over the head with rattan weapons on a battlefield why shouldn't I be able to stand a bit of criticism regarding my art?
(moans)
Only a couple of ways to get rid of stage-fright I guess.
1. Get used to booing and keep practicing.
2. Kick some fucking ass with your honest and heart felt songs till they cry out for more.
