We've thoroughly abused the good graces of ChristianCastell.  Let's take the fishing discussion to Chat Corner.

hahah....worry not, I don't take too much personaly.

You can't take more out of life, than you are prepared to put in.

Re: Performing

Sorry for the hijack, CC.

As to the OP, like I said, pick a dozen or so songs that you can do from memory, practise the crap out of them, until you're completely comfortable, and don't sweat it if you make mistakes, no one will notice. Make sure you pick tunes that your audience is familiar with, and they will eat it up. Most non-players are thoroughly bedazzled by a singing guitar player and will appreciate familiar songs.

Re: Performing

I agree, Whitewater55. You win them over with well known old favorites.
This gives a crowd a standard to measure your skill level.
Once you have them grooving along, then pull up your lesser known material. They will have been prepared to enjoy that now.

No, sir. It's the one about younger women, living with several wives. I don't like the part where he runs them off and they still come back.
I further dislike his comparing them with profanity. it's disrespectful.

Re: Performing

I've fished in Scotland, Iceland, all over the Uk, mainly salmon & trout. Managed a trout farm for a couple of years, love my collection of 'Split Cane' Hardys, tie all my own flies....what more can I say. You hijacked the right thread!!
