Final Perfomance!

Let's just bypass the part where I accidentally pull my guitar out the amp and accidentally knock my microphone stand, at least I handled these slip-ups professionally, which shows my...professionalism. I'm not even embarrassed because I think it was humorous, which set the mood perfectly for our first piece, and added an extra depth to my on-stage persona. Many a professional performer slips-up live on-stage and there's nothing you can do - accident's happen, but recovering from it and getting the audience to laugh along with you is a performance skill.
Anyhow, I think our Folk Rock performance was successful. I managed to play the piece correctly and fluently. There were no mistakes in performance which is always something to strive for. I thought our performance persona was also evident and we had a good rapport with our live audience who clapped along to the drum solo on our backing track. We added a last minute dance break to the piece which I think helped give a great feel to the piece and the overall message of the song which was just to have fun. I was proud that I played guitar live as this was an aim originally set to me by my tutor at the start of the semester and I'm glad I could do so successfully.
