I went and played my second hootenanny last night and I was teriable I was last performer they were running late the bar manager was angry we weren't finished and heard him till the director to have me hurry while I was playing I got cramps in both legs missed a chord change then lost my place but at least I didn't drop my pick while playing a song I had only been playing a week bad choice only 24 performers and audience of a bout a 150 people
We have to take the bad with the good. Mistakes and bad vibes teach us a lesson. Most of the sessions will be good. Anyway I'm sure you did good.
Art, I had a similar experience many years ago. I wrote a song about it . Don't let it get you down. As Pete said, take the good with the bad ,learn from it and keep moving forward. It's all part of the journey and paying your dues. I know you'll grow from this experience and only get better. Good Luck in the future.

Well now you've got a new place from which to improve. It could have been worse. You could have been the stage hand that bumped a dolly into the risers and caused the rear legs of the chairs of six trombone players to fall off the back of the risers, having nearly the whole low brass section landing in a heap of tangled arms, chairs, and bent slides. I was the trombone player who didn't fall because I was playing a bass trombone and was seated with the tubas, so the good news was that the rest of the concert was one big low brass solo for me.

Keep going! You will improve. That's a pretty big crowd to play for, as well! It might be best to get there early and get on sooner, if that's possible...
