Played my first benefit gig today.
Played at a benefit for hospice today. Had a great time. My friend Rob and his band, Soul to Soul played a nice mix of classic rock tunes. I played 2 pieces by Bach on my Cordoba C9, and a couple of pieces by Steve Hacket. Then, Rob and I played a few songs together, and I even sang while playing guitar for the first time in public. We performed, Old Man/Neil Young, Even in the Quietest Moments/Supertramp, and Pigs on the Wing / Pink Floyd with me on vocals. Rob played my L-03 Custom so it was a 100% Larrivee duo set. I used the iRig Acoustic Stage mic and everyone said the guitars sounded great. We were plugged directly into the PA mixer.
Great fun and looking forward to doing this public performance thing more in the future. A couple of photos... Sorry, but I don't think any video was taken. If I find out differently, and, I approve of it, I will post it. Rob's daughter, Natalie playing the Ukulele. She has a beautiful voice. The band (and the Larrivee cases in the foreground for "composition purposes") The benefit raised about $3,500 for the local hospice. Good job everyone! |

I am mostly retired, gigged forever, but I don't say no to requests for charity events or benefits. You need some videos, great pix but you can't "hear" them.........

Congratulations on what sounds to have been a very successful gig. I love playing benefits. There's nothing like combining some altruism with your favorite hobby.
