a·cous·tic (-kstk) adj.
1. Of or relating to sound, the sense of hearing, or the science of sound.
I've never really had problems performing intimate songs in intimate settings. IMO, I have a special knack for it. However, when I put myself out there in a way that's "all on the table" it can still be a bit scary. Especially for 45 minutes solid... publicly.
I'm not gonna front, I felt plenty of fear. Yet, the bottom line is, I did it anyways. And I've found that it's good for my soul.
I'm learning in my life that the only way I can grow is to go through the "difficult" or the painful. And the only "enemy" that can prevent me from growing is myself. Sounds pretty straight forward, right? It's just that the more and more people I meet and grow closer to, the more and more I find that it's a rare thing to find other people that truly live that way. For me, it felt like each and every person that shared Wednesday night with me walk or have walked that lonesome road.
The connection I felt from the audience was electric. Almost even therapeutic. It was nice. It affirmed that I am not alone. After all, isn't soul music about the soul? R&B about the "blues" within rhythm?
I don't know if there will be another night quite like that one, but it's going down in the books as a good one.
