Brent,
Congratulations! Sounds like you did a "goodgig"! Whether or not you played well is beside the point. Whether or not you played hard music or easy music beside the point. The only thing that I would stress to anybody reading this is that you did this gig that a non musician would have trouble getting into at all. It is likely that you sat closer to Prime Minister majors than most of the crowd. That was true for me in my VIP tours.
Did you get to shake any hands? I shook Bill Clinton's hand - without a glove (!)
This is the kind of performance that I wish more people would write about on this board. I'm really sick of the college talk on this board. I think that most people here set their focus to narrowly and don't realize all the opportunities that music affords.
But that's just Me.
Congratulations again Brent and good luck to you in the future !
Brian no longer calling hinself "goodgigs" Kane
