STICKING OUT, YOUR EXPERIENCES ON THE GIG

Hi there,
Finally i did my first Stick-gig together with Ron Baggerman and Carel Vrieling , in Zaandijk-Holland.
I felt as nervous as I did on my first vocal gig but it was fun. Ron played some tunes of his own and I improvised some vocal lines on it; first time as well.......no lines but just sing things wich come out at that moment, quite a refreshing experience as I sing for more than 30 years with all kind of bands.
Right now i'm the singer of a big-band.,ut the way we played last friday, was even more fun! Ron improvising on the simple tunes I make, encourages me to develop my Stick playing to something serious. Some lessons of ron will do more, but the dental shit takes much of my freetime.
For the next Stick seminar in holland, I'll try to improve my playing, so i can share some of my ideas with you; i'm curious about your judgement...... Frank Leurs: NO POINTS !, joke of the european songcontest.
See you, Frank Leurs, Holland
