Hey everyone!

I know I just got here and I'm pretty new to the site. But I will be leaving for a week (my vacation) to go to Spandahlem, Germany to perform in the U.S. Airforce Youth Talent Show. It's like the finals I guess, I won 2nd place at my base here in Italy. I'm dedicating my show to every musician that influenced me including Mr. Rhoads. I'm going to be playing a song I wrote called Southern Blues on my Resonator guitar tuned to G with a capo on the 2nd. Wish me luck, I leave tomarrow morning! I have a video of my first performance if anyone is interested. My band left me right before the show so I had to improvise on the song except the intro i knew. I improvised and changed the song so it would entertain the audience a little bit more because without drums, the original would have been a tad boring.

Definatly. I will try and get on a computer when I am over there. I will record the song when I get back. I've been looking into harmonica. I really want a singer, but I can't sing or find one. For my recordings, I might just do a harmonica lead until I get back to the states for university.

School is not going so great sadly...My girlfriend left me....I am really sick.....but I won a talent show for my music, so I am pretty happy. Other then that, I don't know if I will be around the site for a little while...I have found myself...well doing nothing more then usual. I guess I'm living the life of a blues song. Well... See you guys around and thank you so much for everything.

I got discouraged from talking about my stuff on forums because of what rr.tk did to me. Everyone made stuff worse. They kept telling me the worst case scenarios which I knew and reading it made me feel even worse.

I just don't know you guys, I love my music and thats all I want to do. I mean wow, what would be better then playing music for a living. I idolize any musician who does that. It means the world to me, but I have cancer and my life is going to total ****. I hope the cancer goes away, i still need to go to another doctor. I just want to play my guitar, its all that makes me happy.
