I played and sang a song last night at my sister's silver wedding anniversary party.
I've mentioned having problems with stage fright and stress on here in the past and I haven't played in a while as a result of a couple of bad experiences last year.
The plan was to do a short set with my niece (singer) and nephew (cajon) as we've never played together before and my sister would be so made up, but I bottled it at the start of the week. I wasn't sleeping and I was worrying about it all. It's meant to be fun but to me it's stress so I said no.
Got there, met everyone and they were all in fun mode, then my niece and nephew did a few numbers without me and they were great. I got called up and could see the joy in my sister's face so I did it. I PLAYED! I PLAYED A SONG!
Their first dance at their wedding was 'Wonderful Tonight' and it's the one song I HAD learned so I did that. Fingerpicking and everything! They came up and danced and there were tears (not from me!). It was pretty damn special and I loved it for once.
And then two women asked me out!
I might meet one of them for some booze soon...
Top night.

Good man, I know what nerves are like, but somebody told me once performing in front people is like going to a nudist beach for the first time. It's only hard to start with then you get used to it
Well done for getting yourself up there!

Am I a looker? Dunno. Want me to PM you some 'special' pics?
I'm a cheeky guy and I won the room over so one of my sister's pals took a shine to me. I don't fancy her at all and she lives in my sister's town but I was definitely flattered!
The other girl lives in the same town as me. She's seen me in my local before and knows my sister but had no idea I was her brother given that we live in different towns. Got chatting and she wants to meet up for drinks some night. I'm up for that!

Was it a solo thing or were you part of a douchet?
