The night went well. I only got to play two songs, but I was okay with that. My entire family showed up for it, blessing my heart out. About a dozen other friends showed up as well. The coffee house was brimming with my family and friends. Quite an amazing sound of applause came just when I was announced “on deck.” I get goosebumps all over my arms just thinking about the sound of their clapping. I think I even heard someone whistle. And I’m thankful for Jon Johnson, otherwise I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to play that beautiful Gretsch. A lovely evening. We should do it again sometime.
