Meine is a big help to me, but I can sure use so support from the forum.

Welcome and enjoy a whole new world of great people and great information. As far as your gig comming up...just "play it like you own it", the nervousness will leave as soon as the grin takes over...  |

| Welcome Rinus. I will never forget my first time playing my steel in public. My right leg was shaking so much it sounded like I had the tremolo turned on my Twin Reverb. |

This is the place.
I really like the advice Miene gave you. "Don't play to much, see all the pretty women and smile"!!
I have confidence you'll do great on the gig!

Thanks guys...
It feels like coming home...
Also thanks for the support, even in Dutch, hale goot...
I agree with you that I have the best teachter of the 3 northern provinces of the Netherlands, maybe even further than that,
but more important,I think, is that he became a good friend of mine....
And thru this forum I feel like having friends all over the world.
Thanks again
Rinus
