So, on Friday the 17th I had my recital at JAM (same place where we have our Bluegrass Class) I signed up to go first so that I could get it over with and be able to enjoy everyone else's performance.....that was a good move....because as soon as it started I wanted to run out of the room.....but I was called up and as I'm very obedient... I went up....Thank God for my instructor who accompanied me with her fiddle (I believe she calls hers a Violin
) I played fine but unlike when I play in the Bluegrass class, instead of calming down as I played....I got more nervous....I was certain that the sounds my heart was making were going to mute my playing... but I made it through to the end....I played Liberty and Jingle Bells....and did not puke!
But I learned that playing alone is a lot tougher than in a group....even if it's a small group....there's comfort in company...
