Playing my trusty ole Stage One with Bryan Pero and the Tired Horses. Other than the band being way too loud so I couldnt hear myself at all (maybe a good thing ?) I think it went pretty well over all. At least I got my feet wet and had fun. Still waitin' on the recording and youtube video.

Put your amp on a tilt-back stand and point it at your head. You WILL hear yourself

| Karen, you wouldn't happen to be related to Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian, would you? I understand his family hails from Massachusetts. Either way, congratulations! |

My first gig was in a bar that should have had chicken wire but didn't (the bar/band scene in the movie "Roadhouse" brings back memories). Hope yours was more pleasant.
Congrats.
