After about 15 months in the woodshed--and 3 or 4 months of lessons--I finally got up on stage. In public. And played.  AND I DIDN'T EMBARASS MYSELF
Three blues numbers--Man of My Word (Johnny Adams), Funky Mama (Lou Donaldson), and Stuff You Gotta Watch (Muddy Waters). I managed to keep it together, walk where appropriate, and even lead the guitars into a turnaround that they missed (too busy soloing to count the measures on an oddball 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-4-5-5#-5 verse).
Gee, I can actually do this. Amazing. |

BTW, you may experience some spotting in the days following the gig. If it persists or becomes heavy, please contact your gynecologist right away. |

Congrats!
You'll learn more per hour playing live or jamming than practicing (still gotta practice, though!), and have more fun.

Good work on keeping your timing and your cool. You have to
think for them sometimes. Just keep the groove moving.
Well done!
