Both performances were "open mic nights", and both in coffee
houses. I prefer playing in bars since I like tequila better than lattes.
However, the advantage of a coffee house is that one of my under-21 musician friends
can see me perform.
March 4th I played at the Lush Lounge in Vista,
CA. Here is a bad cellphone video of the performance. I can see that I need
more practice:
The improvement of this show over my last performance, which you can see in the video, is that I'm now "moving" with the music. In my first show I was so nervous that I remained stiff.
March 5th played at La Costa Coffee Roasting in
Carlsbad, CA. This performance went a little better than the night before since
I’m getting more experience.
What I learned from this show was not to have the microphone
stand too high, since I need to be able to look down to see the guitar.
However, it also says I should practice not looking at the guitar more.
From this point out, I'm only going to post performance notes
for notable performances, where either I learn something new, or get a great
video or photo.
