These times are a changing!

As the title suggests named after the famous Bob Dylan song my project will have slight changes. First off instead of playing my normal time at White Oak, 3:00-3:30 , I will now be changing my time to 5:15-5:45 for February. The main reason I will be rescheduling is because I would not be able to play every friday like I planned since they have so many activities planned ahead of time. Another reason I will be playing at a later time is due to Mrs. Zion. She told me that her mother, a resident at a nursing home, was very bored before dinner and suggested I would have a bigger crowd to play for as well as it would be good entertainment for them. I plan to keep practicing my songs still before each Friday to make sure I will not get rusty.

Practice Makes Perfect!

It seems like I started this project and now the time has finally come for me to perform these songs. I always thought I would have more time to practice, but homework was a big obstacle. I always try to balance work and play but sometimes work just encompasses your time. I have been practicing my guitar as much as I can, but I still need to work on amplifying my voice in front of people. I have always liked the idea of being a rock star and thought that singing would not be a problem. I can sing in the shower, my room, I even sing along to Nickel Back's photograph with the windows rolled down. When it comes to singing to people face to face my voice kind of wavers and I sing softer. I plan to overcome this obstacle by singing as best I can and not worry too much if I am not the next American Idol or not. Another problem I did not count on was braces being thrust back upon me, which makes my voice really lispy ha ha! No matter what happens I will take my remaining time and prepare the  best I can, and I will give those cool cats the best performance they have ever had!
