What's the point in buying a guitar here if I don't play in public? For that reason, and after applying for internships all day and most definitely not practising guitar, I went to a local bar's open mic night on Sunday and played a couple of songs. Everyone else there was by far better than me, and I played some pretty sleepy songs (Collide by Howie Day, and Boston by Augustana) so I know it wasn't fantastic or even good, but quite a lot of my friends came along and insisted I did well so that's pretty cool. I'll keep practising up and make sure I can play something a bit more interesting/exciting next time I go. Still was good fun. And finally getting onto applying for internships, hopefully hear about that soon and find out exactly when I'll be home!
I think one of your aims for this trip should be to learn a Michael Franti song so you can play for me when you get back!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, ihe's still on my "learn-to-play" list, gradually expanding my repertoire
