We've all had those Thursday nights when the bar is empty. That's when I announce, "Thank you all for coming dressed as tables and chairs" or something about as stupid as that. Remember, they call it PLAYing music. Don't take it too seriously, PLAY like a child and have a good time. If you are having fun, it's contagious and the audience will have fun too. Your attitude is important, gear your mind for success, prepare well, and that's what you will get. Insights and incites by Notes ♫

Bungle In The Jungle - Jethro Tull

Depending on your body type, less clothes might be the answer.

I've never had stage fright, perhaps because I started young, before I knew any better. My advice, prepare and practice until the piece(s) you are going to play are totally under your fingers. Then tell yourself that you know it, you know it well, and the people will like what you do. They will like you, because you are doing something they can't do and can't even imagine how. I've been a pro all my life. I've had big screw-ups on stage. Not often, but they are sure to happen sooner or later. I'll say something to the audience like, "This worked perfectly in practice" or "Did you ever have one of THOSE days" or "Damn it, I got my finger stuck under the G-String again" and laugh with the audience. Everybody makes mistakes and as long as you joke about it, they will be forgiving. Insights and incites by Notes ♫

Mother I've Taken LSD - The Flaming Lips

Thanks, I'll investigate Macrium. On first look it seems to be free (free is good). I started with Norton Ghost. I liked the name ( Ghost ? ) When they went extinct, I switched to Acronis. Which now is getting too fat with more and more features. All I need is to be able to make a disk image so if I have a problem, I'm backing up the OS and everything. I understand a company has to keep on making more money, and either adding more features or starting a subscription service are two ways to do that. Eventually, apps get bloated and subscription services don't sit well with me. I appreciate the suggestions. Notes ♫

I Hate Myself for Loving You - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

Is there another disk imaging software other than Acroinis?

Modern Time Blues - Jean-Luc Ponty

Is that an Acoustic 360 amp?

Method Of Modern Love - Daryl Hall & John Oates

Wild Thing - Jimi Hendrix style

You Better You Bet - The Who

Jackson - Johnny Cash & June Carter

Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel

Back in the days when phones were hooked to poles with wires, the squirrels put me out of service more than once. It seems they like phone cables too. Notes ♫

A twist on a very old skit

City of Tiny Lites - Frank Zappa .

"You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" - A nice take on the old Cole Porter song by the great guitarist Jim Hall
