Riffin'
First a little background, me and 3 of my buddies have a "band" (and I use the term loosely) that is really more of a weekly jam in our singer's basement. Over the last couple of years, we have built up a fair repertoire of songs that we can more or less pull off. We've played at a few friends' parties, and have played a couple of times at the neighborhood bars...again, mostly filled with friends.
So our bass player, Tony, who is our most senior member, signed us up to play at his 50 yr high school reunion in August, Class of '66!. He said they expect about 350 people. That will be, by far, the largest crowd of strangers we've ever tried to play for. We've been trying to learn a bunch of 60's era songs for it. I keep telling myself not to worry about it since I won't know any of those folks and at 60+ yrs average age, they probably won't care too much. But still, deep down, I'm freaking out a little bit. We're really not an act that people would pay to see.
I know, I need to relax and not worry about it, right?
