Hi all...

Well, I've got the first full-length, solo acoustic gig I've had in years tonight. I gotta say, I'm a bit nervous to employ the use of my looper for the first time, and debut a number of new originals and covers. I'm also going to play my acoustic through my Twin Reverb RI instead of the house PA system (another first) but it gives me a few options as far as tremolo and verb. It sounds great... kinda acosutic but with a little more balls. It's a pretty small bar... 78 folks is full capacity so the Twin can more than get the job done. Anyhow, I've been practicing solid for a few days now and feel pretty good about it but it couldn't hurt if you wanted to send me some good juju. :mrgreen:

Cheers...

Indeed!

The gig went great... there was a great turnout and I have to say I pretty much killed it. A few goof ups here and there but on the whole, maybe the best show I've played so I'm stoked. Thanks for all the well-wishing, it was much appreciated. Cheers.

Killing it is good! Enjoy the feeling.... I played solo on the road for almost five years, doing four sets a night, six nights a week. It's still my favorite way to play, on the rare occasion I drag the old bones out to a gig.
