Dear friends out there in music land.
I am trying to build a website to try to get some more gigs.
When we are adwertising ourself, I read somthing like "Don`t be shy" and things like that.
Easy to say, but more difficult to do.
I consider myself as a relatively realistic person.
I have played and performed the most of my life, and people seems to like what I do,but the truth is:
I am an intermediate guitarplayer and an intermediate singer.
When I listen to music in this forum or look and listen at the net, there are so many tallented people out there that It is realistic to say that to many of them I don`t ewen reach them ancles.
Also, I am a bit alergic to bigmouths.
So, how do I cope with that?

Best regards
Tono



As someone once said, if a man can do a thing, it's not boastful for him to talk about it. I doubt if any of us are the 'best', fastest, funniest, or anything else-est. But we are each the sum of our talents and experience, unlike any other--unique in that way. You do something in a way that no one else does. Try to be secure in that.

A performer I worked with once told me, "If you're going to do something, DO it." You're a performer. You get up in front of groups of people and do what you do. And you may be a shy person, but it's kind of silly to think about being shy about what you do. Have confidence in that.

Then do what everybody before me said. It's all good, practical advice. I wish you all success.
