Had a really good time last night. There were 4 of us and we rotated doing 3 songs each- I wound up doin 9 songs 
The venue was crowded with a supper crowd, because of the good food 
my youngest grand daughter (turned 1 this past Thanksgiving) really enjoyed the mac and cheese 
and it was a bit hard to hear even with a great sound system. Prob'ly 50 people there.

I only messed up 3 or 4 times, but recovered nicely- the mess-ups were due to not being able to look at my hands because the voice mic was in the way- I need to get used to singin into a mic- John said I sing soft, which surprised me because my voice carries- a lot- The other 3 player/singer writers were way more experienced than I- my last set, the organizer let me play his plugged in Martin - BTW, I used my Martin 00015M-one gentleman was playin a Seagull, that sounded great, and sounded a lot like a J45- and the other gentleman was playin an Epiphone Master Built Texan- it too sounded great and similar to a J45-

the Seagull player, Dan Kocher (pronounced core) and the gentleman with the Epiphone, named Mike, who called himself Tone Deaf Mike, from Conroe, were writers as well- they write up beat blues and boogie-woogie tunes and were very enjoyable to listen to-

John, the organizer offered to help me learn to play better- he said, one lesson in Travis pickin is all it would take- all 3 were surprised that come March I will end my 2nd year of this journey-
I passed out 1/2 dozen cards-
I was pleased with me self 
now, I have to start practicin.... more songs- I could prob'ly do 1 1/2 hours easily, but, I had to stop and think last night trying to remember, Just Because You Asked Me To-
now, I have to start practicin.... more songs- I could prob'ly do 1 1/2 hours easily, but, I had to stop and think last night trying to remember, Just Because You Asked Me To- guess, I better take a list with me next time. The organizer used an iPad- Dan had his wife texting him which song to do and Mike, like me, played off the top of his head-
My kids recorded what I did, but, there is too much ambient noise for posting to you tube-
My youngest son, said, Dad, you should have started doin this a long tome ago 
, he was impressed, which surprised me since he's not all that impressed with my you tube stuff- he said I'm a lot better live! All 4 of the adults in my built-in peanut gallery were very pleased and impressed with Pop! The grand kids behaved themselves, mostly - and my oldest grand daughter wrapped the organizer around her little finger-
