Some of the unplanned stuff wasn’t all that great, but Wonderwall was a great way to end the night. The teases were a result of me not knowing the entire song. This is easily the most music I have ever played in one sitting and it went pretty well. A lot of people asked where I usually played at and were surprised to hear that I haven’t done this in years outside of a couple open mics. The cool thing is that up until Blue Flashing Light, I had all the songs memorized. After that I had to resort to my three ring binder of songs except for a couple of the unplanned tunes that I knew.

Not sure what this means for future music playing.  I certainly enjoyed it, but it would be difficult to get in the required amount of practicing to play out semi-regularly and still find time to read, write, draw, and build guitars.  I’ve already been asked to play for New Years, so we’ll see.

Thank you to Josh for taking all the pictures!
