Front Men

well, I played a show tonight.  My first show as a "front man" if you will.  I have played music for thousands and thousands of people in my life....but always a background musician or while leading worship.  These things are very different than being the sole focus of people for entertainment!!!  Man is it difficult.  I gained a new respect for people who do this all the time.  I was horribly terrified for some reason.  I have done so much performing, and have never been as nervous as  I was tonight.  Wow.  The pressure a front man experiences is un-believable.  Hats off to all you people out there whoa re able to perform your own music in front of people.  I am in awe of you!   I learned tonight that I am a worship leader!  Amen to that

  1. what's up buddy it's andrew wakefield from back in the day. a word of advice from my experience..if you project confidence, even pretend confidence, people usually eat it up. don't know why...guess that's why there are people that are famous but are also awful. and someone could be playing the best music ever but if they look like they're scared of their audience people generally won't show interest. also practice, practice, practice.
