I am just a BIT nervous!

Tomorrow, I will be singing for the early service congregation. At almost 67 yo, this is the first time in my life that I will be singing a solo in front of folks while also playing the guitar.

I have learned that this process is a LOT more than just playing the guitar and singing along. What I have to do is actually sing a solo on its own merits, while also using the guitar to support that solo. The playing of the guitar has to be pretty automatic or the singing quality drops considerably. I have been taking guitar lessons about 4 months now.

Well, I have chosen to play only for the early service, which has about 60-100 folks in it, many of whom I know. So, at least I will be amongst a few friends. However, at 8:15 am, they are also a pretty dead audience, spread out all over the sanctuary, which seats several hundred folks.

For those interested, I will be singing:

"It is Well with my Soul."

I will be using a pick for verses 1 and 3 and a strum for verse 2.
