Last night for the first time I got up on stage and did what I've wanted to do all my life, and that is to perform my music in front of a crowd. I was scared to death and it was a little shaky at the start but then it went good. To hear the crowd clapping after doing a song was the biggest rush I have ever felt, they even sang along on one song I did. I now, for the first time know how it feels to be "up there" and it was great. I wish you all could have been there to share the moment. I was hoping that the first venue I played would have been a coffee house or small bar, but no I did a stadium, talk about jumping into the deep end. I can't thank you enough for giving me the courage to do it.

Well done! You have more courage than me (and a few more musical skills!)
I'm on my way as soon as you find me some funding to do it, That would be very cool.
That is amazing, Doug! I wish I could have been there to see and listen to your amazing music. I'm sure you were phenomenal. I am so happy you got to realize your dream (you well deserve it).
