I was doing a show at the Boardwalk Cafe in Nashville TN with two randomly selected writers. I didn't have any confidence or well I merely spoke the truth about just wanting to have a good time and one of the guy's on stage kept heckling me about not being positive or having a self centered attitude. Once the set was finished I ended up getting a huge response for the fact that I kept playing and didn't let the guy get to me. It was tense for the whole set but I just stuck to myself and just played through my set. In the end I gained fans as he lost some.
I was doing a show at Douglas Corner in Nashville TN. I didn't have much money at the time since I was a dish washer for a local eatery. I got on stage with Mrs. Judy Rodman the best vocal coach in all of Nashville and proceded to tune my guitar for a show I truly wasn't ready for. I ended up breaking a string during tuning and of course the whole place roared with laughter. I just chuckled and was said "oops". At that moment the guy next to me offered me his guitar but I said screw it. I got the embarasing moment out of the way now it's time to play. Did my set and was congratulated for not losing it.
The best setup I had was a Gibson SG with an EMG-81 added to the bridge. I had also built my own amp head and used an Ibanez cabinet with Celestion V-30's in it. I ran a Line 6 Floor POD XT Live. Once I was divorced a supposed friend was going to hold on to it but later on when I asked for it back he didn't respond. Soon I found out he sold it all. The only thing I miss is the Guitar which has a name tape on it from a 1SGT that I had met in Iraq the day he was killed. Now all of that equipment is gone.
