HI everyone or every 5 of you who regularly read me :)
I finally spoke to the owner of a bar/restaurant I've been wanting to play music at, and he said he's definitely going to fit me in on a sunday evening so I am excited and nervous. He said he'd be calling on Monday to schedule it. I know so many things can go wrong so I am trying to prepare for that as much as I can. I have been rehearsing when the babies sleep and trying to figure out the levels for the amp and PA to have the right mix. I still don't have a monitor, but I plug in one side of my earbuds....I really feel more confident when I can hear my voice, but I know all the wires are going to cause a problem...but I am just looking forward to getting started and getting a few songs in to hopefully feel more comfortable and do my best. I hope I can do well enough to impress the manager, but I also hope guests genuinely like it. I second-guess myself all the time...and now I am looking over my current list which is about 30 songs, and thinking it might be boring to anyone who doesn't share my taste...but I think all these questions will be answered once I have one performance under my belt. I am going to invite anyone I can from my gym classes and mom groups...since I don't have many friends here yet and John will have to be home with the kids.
So I recorded some newer songs and put them up on my youtube and music blog; I decided not to use my amp and PA for them because the camera diminishes the quality so much. Feel free to let me know what songs you think I should include/exclude etc.

I'm listening to your music now... I'll comment over there. By the way, what is the atmosphere in that Bar/Restaurant? I am assuming it's 30-60 yr olds having dinner and drinks???
Thanks Iris. It's called Mojo's grill. Basically a sports bar. Some families, but mostly middle-aged drinkers I assume. I will be trying to get my gym teachers/friends to go since it's near the gym...I am feeling more nervous about this now. I just don't want to bore people! What I'd really like is to have a band. I know many of the songs I play don't really make as much sense without percussion or backing vocals etc. But one step at a time right?
