So last night, my friends Dave and Jenny got married. The ceremony was beautiful and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. “Why am I mentioning this on this music blog?” you may ask. Well, I actually performed for the wedding.
That’s me in the back corner, trying not to pee on myself or cry.
Playing an instrument is no big deal for me, but my lovely friends wanted a little more out of me than that. They wanted me to play guitar AND sing. Now, I know not everyone who reads this will know my personal feelings and insecurities, so just to clarify, I HATE SINGING. For the longest time, I thought that I was a terrible singer and that there was no point for me to even try. This did not matter for Dave and Jenny apparently, because they asked anyway. Something else about me, I can’t say no. So after a lot of butt-kissing and encouragement, they got me to do it. It was the most stressful things I’ve experienced. Would I do it again? Maybe, but I think for now, I’ll stick to what I’m comfortable with doing and stretch my musical abilities some other time.
Just thought I’d share that experience with you guys. I may write more in depth about it some other time. But until then..
Keep on Rocking
