Happy New Year Stickists.

First open mic for the year at a venue I've been at twice before. I like this place a lot, the stick comes alive in a nice PA going in via a pair of those fine Canadian Radial DI's I have and my old delay & chorus pedals.
The Act before blew the roof off as she powered though Roxanne & Lady Marmalade among others with a huge voice and really soulful performance accompanied with nice guitar by a guy who was a Bob Marley look alike in a hat. So I think Hmmmm, I better make this good as last act of the night!

Anyway , quick sound check, the engineer knows the rig now, crank it up and into it.
I love playing when the sound off the PA is loud and responsive, had a few little slips that probably went unnoticed and got through I think my best ever "Aint no sunshine " with vocals. I am getting used to singing and playing which is really satisfying,but a tad tricky. All up the 4 pieces went down well, 3 originals and one cover. The experience I reckon is invaluable compared to doing the same thing at home. Hope to get a few more in at other venues in the coming weeks. Cheers

Nice work, Bruce! Audio samples next time, if you can.

Yes please! you're flying now Bruce! We would all love to hear you again!

Great stuff Bruce- that's a step I've yet to take. Not sure how I'd go flying solo at the moment, I'm too reliant on the band making me look good. More practice!

Congrats. A great learning experience. Keep moving forward
