Actually playing . . . and not in my office?!?

Cool! You know, I still get nervous for public performances like that, even though I've played in church probably hundreds of times by this point. Good luck with it.

BTW, what do you mean by 'free meter?' Lacking any sort of time signature? That sounds like it would be extremely difficult.

The music was hand-written because someone made this up on their own. They wanted to get the ideas down more than anything else. The way it is written, there is no time signature basically. It's essentially 4/4, but there's some parts (like triplet half-notes) that don't seem to make sense. She played and sang it the way she sings it, which is more or less what I imagined it would be. A member here has an acoustic that I'm going to borrow. He's the same guy that's going to the Maiden concert with me in July.

I know from experience that I'm going to have to practice while wearing a suit coat too. Back in high school I played for our equivalent of a prom. I was wearing a tux but hadn't practiced with long sleeves to say nothing of a tux coat. I got some unwanted muting until I figured it out.

Maybe I should just buy an acoustic one of these days.
