Feels like the first time

Had my first gig in 3 yrs tonight. I was so nervous and I still can't get my setup to where I can turn up the volume where I want it for a large room, without feedback when I use my harmonizer...but I know I use it too much anyway, so I'll have to work on some songs that I feel can hold their weight without harmonies.

     It was packed for the first half, and died down toward the end. I actually expected fewer people because it's a tuesday night of back to school week lol. I was happy to see my catholic homeschool group mom's from Frisco there :) I made some funnies and did a "shout out" to them...yeah, TRL style.

    I played most of the 3 hr set straight lol. My voice is almost gone. But it was great fun and I earned some $ toward the cabin. I hope it leads to more jobs...despite how nerve-wracked I get the week prior :)
    Thank you to the friends that came out--you lifted my spirits! And thanks for the pictures Amanda :)

 

Happy Birthday to Me

Normily stayed an extra day, despite the fact that Emily starts a new job at a hospital this week, and Norman is starting another semester next week--it was a last minute trip, and we made the most of it! We had in & out burger, went to mass, then Emily (nanny) came over to babysit while we went to Top Golf for my birthday :)

I was terrible at it, but it was fun and the food was good when it finally came. We had good talks, discussed faith, children & marriage, had laughs and retold inside story jokes. I'm sad they had to pack up and leave tonight, and John had to go to bed since he works tomorrow. But we still got a Catan game in--which Emily won :)
    Hope to see them soon--probably Thanksgiving.

NORMILY

Norman and Emily came up from Houston to visit for my birthday weekend :) We are playing lots of games, swimming, eating mom's Arroz con Pollo, and we are about to watch some old video of xmas 2002, when dad was alive. Can't wait til Norman gets his process tech degree next yr and gets a job up here--game nights every weekend!

Playing Music

I am getting back into playing live music to help save up for the cabin :) I just found this link and it got me nervous/excited. I have been practicing some new Mashups lately. I hope to be asked back.
