Members Jkater Posted September 12, 2011 Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 Yesterday, I played a solo gig of about 1 1/2 hour in the park of an old rather derelict castle in Germany. This is at the beginning of the gig so there wasn't a lot of people yet, it became a little more crowded later on. It went well. Pleasant as a whole, for me anyway... [video=youtube;CT15Eu_FX1s] Most of yesterday, my head was less on this gig than on the significance of that day. i was deeply affected by that horrific event ten years ago. And thought of it all day. At around 2:45 p.m. Germany time, I was with three noisy kids so it was hard to keep a moment's silence but i thought of it.

Members BoneNut Posted September 12, 2011 Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 Awesome! The sound of the running water gave it a really cool vibe. For sure! Besides walking around a town or park and listening to great music being played live is always very cool. Especially when it's played like that!!!Congratulations!

Members Jkater Posted September 12, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks all! Much appreciated. Here's another one from that day: [video=youtube;mgrZAOpr2GM] That's really great Richard! How do you find playing outside? Thank you, Will. Playing outside, I've done it often. It's kind of different every time, I guess. For some reason, yesterday, my fingers felt "rubbery" for lack of a better word and it was distracting and unconfortable. Maybe because of the weather being very humid and a little cool. This was a moving crowd, especially at the beginning and that felt a bit impersonnal but then later more people gathered towards the end and were more responsive and friendly.

Members fretmonster Posted September 12, 2011 Members Share Posted September 12, 2011 Lucky you. What an idyllic setting to play some solo acoustic. Great ambience created in part by you and your guitar to soothe the colletive psyche on the anniversary of 9/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
