Thanks Beaky for the uplifting post. I did my first job very successfully and was invited back (several bookings). I have 20 new/different venues to play so far, so it is going well. I'm busy enough, part time to get my feet wet and the days ahead should be interesting.

Song repetoir is growing and I've just taken a break form working on new tunes (constantly).

Yes, I sing and play well enough IMO . I believe I have the tools to succeed and will keep all posted, if interested.

Regards,
zuki
