This week it is my turn to perform at the local GC for KOTB 2010. As of today I will finally pick the song that I want to do. I have narrowed it down to 3, and there are things that I like about each one of the tunes. I have band practice tonight and there is a possibility that I have an open mic on Wednesday also, which could throw me off, or just get my mind off overthinking, which I always do.

The first 2 years I did KOTB, I mapped out each note that I played. The first year I mapped out every note, played it dead on with no emotion or stage presence. It was not good at all.

Last year I mapped out each note, had a great deal of fun and was beat fair and square. I did not allow myself any freedom.

This year I am just going over the track a few hundred times, each time it is different. I am remembering what I like and what I do not like, so hopefully on Thursday I will be playing all the things I like, and not what I do not like.

It's 12 O'Clock (central time) DO you know where your guitars are.. I do!
