A guy I work with has convinced me to play @ a small, free show he's putting on in L.A. at the end of April.

This will be my first time playing a gig live. All old acoustic/country blues stuff. Mance Lipscomb, Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny & Brownie, etc.

I got a bassist and a laptop dobro player who wanna play with me.

And I planned to sing, until I recorded myself.

Anyone know a blues singer?

Ack!

(You can always just have the vocal mic mixed real low in the mix... happens all the time!) You have ignored this user.
