and i didn't think tonight could top last night

[Childbride]

got back from my lesson just a bit ago...

my teacher has 'graduated' me to his student band. :beer:

i'm terrified and thrilled at the same time. guess the nerve situation is going to be rectified one way or the other.

i get to start gigging nursing homes :rotflmao: end of may/first of june [i just got my first song on my play list tonight... those don't scare me too bad... my experience (with family) is that residents are so thrilled to have company/entertainment that you could stink on ice and they'd love it]

then, once i get more comfortable/earn my stripes, i may get to graduate to local paying gigs with the band... [he has students of all levels, and picks the ones to play at which venues]

[guilty pang] i really should wait until shiner gets home to tell him first, but i couldn't stand it! i'm really excited!

See how quickly buying an amph and learning barre chords paid off?
Congrats, you earned it!:bravo: :bravo:

 

[ted s]

[magoo]

Way to go CB, you have come a long way in a short time.
Congrats, Playing Gigs will even help you more. You must be so excited.:bravo:

 

[Spudman]

Be careful. Those nursing home groupies are kind of icky.:messedup:

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Congrats CB!! I have sure enjoyed my student band gigs. Just jump in and play and don't think too much, you'll rock!

 

[Childbride]

this will just motivate me to play even more...

practice makes Better.

Hmmm. Now that I'm finally married to a rock goddess, do I need to worry about 90 year old men asking her if she'd like to hold their dentures????:messedup: uke:

 

[warren0728]

very cool cb....hope you don't forget us little people as you become a "rock goddess" :beer:

Break a leg!

Gigging rocks.

 

[PAPPY]

Way to go girl. There is nothing more rewarding than putting a smile on someone's face and those folks at the rest homes will love you.

Shiner, am I going to have to get you a bigger hat?? I know how proud you must be. Just want to let the folks here to know what a great supporter for Kimmie you have been, I have seen you in action so don't try to underate your endeavors. I am proud of both of you and sure glad I met up with you at Pearl that first time. It's been a pleasure knowing and watching the both of you progress.

Cb Rocks

Good show there CB, congrats!!! :bravo: Now that you have Barre-ing down and will get much more familiar with the ENTIRE neck in short order; can solo-ing be far behind??? You go girl!! :beer: SLIDIN' time CB!

 

[Cal]

:bravo: Well done Childbride! :bravo:

No need to tell you to keep up the good work 'cause I know you will.

 

[Childbride]

thanks again... i gotta get going on my new song tonight...

and Pie... :thwap:

i have to get to the jeweler tomorrow at lunch and have my fingers sized, they shrink in winter, and i really don't know what they are sizewise anymore. Dug has asked me for them, and i've been so horrid busy with work/getting off really late that i haven't gotten it done yet. bad kimmie.

Pappy... miss you, my friend. can't wait til next month and i can play all my new songs for you and the other Pearl Jammers!

 

[just strum]

The title threw me, but as long as I'm here.

Congrats there CB, you are making a lot of progress.:AOK:

Shiner, better be nice to her if you want a backstage pass.

 

[strumsalot]

Way to go CB! :AOK:

 

[luvmyshiner]

Shiner, am I going to have to get you a bigger hat??

Some people think my head couldn't get any bigger Pappy. They're wrong. CB surpassed me in talent and skill a long time ago and I couldn't be happier. I feel the same way I did the first time my son beat me at chess, or the first time I heard my Baby Girl sing in public and I realized, DAMN, she's good!
