Manage Handwrytten Notes

I noticed I was having some difficulty getting responses from the audience if I would try to throw in a sing-along/bit for some songs. I think a part of that is just gonna be practicing in how I explain a bit/how I throw the singing out to the audience, and a part is gonna be me projecting more when I speak, especially while there's piano/drums happening.

For my first F&F gig, and my first corporate gig, I thought this went well. The key drums were new to me, but I think I did an alright job at it. There were definitely a few songs where I got a little overzealous on tempos and had to pull back a bit, but nothing went off the rails.

We saw Sarah after the gig, and she seemed very happy with everything, offering positive feedback. I think she'd give a good review; I'm just a little wary since it was my first gig and load-in was a little behind schedule.

The venue was absolutely stunning! The owners converted a barn into a large, open space perfect for all sorts of events. There was a long line of stables along one wall that added so much personality to the room.

There was one couple who kept coming back to the dance floor, and they really inspired the rest of the guests to have a good time! When we played Twist And Shout, everybody was out of their chairs, dancing and singing along.

Don't Stop was a big hit! When we played the intro into the first verse, I could see people's faces light up as they recognized the song. It was a great song for getting people to sing along, and we even got them to sing some on their own during the chorus!
