So I had my first gig last night at the Palace Bar and I believe it went well for a first performance. I vividly remember the emotions and thoughts running through me the week leading up to the concert.  I was at peace the whole week about it and the nervousness really didn't hit me till the day of the show.  That whole day, I spent in prayer and reflection and just asking God to grant me the strength to do the best that I possibly could.

So I set up all my stuff and have my set list ready for the show.  At the start, there wasn't many people at the bar.  However, the more I get ready, the more people start piling into the bar.  I was thinking "Jeez, God...I was fine with a few people and now I have to play in front of 100 people easy."  Nevertheless, I led in with the first song, which was a little rusty, but fine.  Next thing I know, I'm on my last song and people are applauding me.  Even Thomas (the manager) said I did a great job and invited me back to play.

To conclude, the concert was a success.  Thanks to all those who had me in your thoughts and prayers during that time.  I will have pictures soon to post so I will post them as soon as I get them.  Thanks for everything
