:D :D :D

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! :)

Hmmm.:confused: 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: :puke:

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.

Some people think my head couldn't get any bigger Pappy. They're wrong.:D 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!:)
