So after 18 years of playing guitar, and one single outdoor gig, I’m hitting the stage at my church this Sunday for my first time performing on a stage in front of people. Little bit nervous about that. Thankfully, they’re very understanding and have assured me that they will allow no volume to come from my rig, so essentially I’ll be playing along but nobody will hear, so I’m free to screw up all I want with freshman jitters. My first real time on stage, where my noise will be audible, is October 12th. If Ingram gave me one thing it was the chance to get my public speaking fears under control, but this is going to be a real test of that control. All I have to do now is learn four songs I’ve never heard before Sunday morning, in between interviews this week. Good times!

Congrats to our very own KP, once again getting published! This time it’s ‘Replacement Pitcher‘. Sadly, we must wait until next June to obtain our copies. Next up is ‘Fess Up, Jessup’. *sigh*
Now, t’is my 8th anniversary today so I must get to preparing the house for a pleasant welcome home to the lass that’s put up with me all this time.
