This past weekend I was asked to play and sing during the first dance at a wedding for some great friends of mine. I've been playing some kind of music my whole life, and have probably played live gigs 20 times in the last few years, but I consider that to be my most important musical performance ever...and man was I nervous. What do you guys consider your biggest gig ever? I know there's lots of performing musicians on here.

Probably, when they had this huge benefit at my high school, which would have been towards the end of my senior year, but I dropped out and went to college my senior year. So, nobody had seen or heard from me, and then I just pop in, and I had gotten much better at guitar, so it was kind of cool. Then, I went back to not speaking to them again....lol, I never fit in with high school friends. But it was a cool gig!

Talent Show I played at my last year of college. Everyone goes to them so it was actually a huge deal. It was a song I wrote, recorded a backing track for, and had a big improv guitar solo in it. So with it being just me on stage and everything coming from me made it very significant. I performed well and everyone loved it, so it was a huge step. 2. Performing the National Anthem on guitar at a college assembly. Very cool moment, was really calm and played it just like I wanted. 3. Guitar Solo competition I won at our college Homecoming. Totally improv, so anything that challenging is a big step.

Blues for a Cure, with my Teacher's Band, Hurricane Jerry and the Stormfront, this july. really hyped for this. 3. playing "The House is a'Rockin" in a play for our theater final. a ton of fun. got a 97 on it.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	I played this small venue called "my bedroom" a few times.. I distinctly remember this one performance of gravity where my shorts had ridden up to the point where my meat and potatoes almost fell out.... At the time, I didn't think much of it, but I got an unbelievable web response from that performance... Every guy wanted to be like me, and every girl wanted to be with me.. I even recall one guy registering on youtube with a screename so similar to mine, you couldn't tell the difference, then trying VERY hard to replicate my performance, but not succeeding. I won't even begin to tell you about how many women's panties were mailed to me ....... That my friend, is my best performance! I have no rhyme or reason, but I've got rhythm!
