Mission Man's first live performance was, well...

    I don't know.  I enjoyed myself some.  It's good to get it out of the way.  I feel like I've taken a big step musically by doing so.  Only two people actually came to see me, but luckily I had a camera, so they taped it.  Other than that, I basically performed for the store employees, and one or two people looking for other people's CDs.  I guess I couldn't really expect more out of a first performance.  Better than blowing it in front of 18,000 people I suppose.  

    I did learn something from it, though.  I've learned I need some new material.  I've written about 40 songs now for Delve Deeper.   I'll probably keep about 10-15 of those.  I'll write another 40 or so, and keep 10-20 of those, and put out a double CD, hopefully by the end of next year.  I may just release it January 19, 2000, though.  That will be my 21st birthday, and will be the zero year.  It won't be a new millenium like some think, but it would still be pretty cool.  2001 is actually the beginning of the new millenium.

    Anyway, I'm going to start performing live more often in a few months, I imagine, after I get some new material and have a chance to practice it enough to perform live.  If any artist reading this e~zine would like to work with me, email me, and I'll try to get together with you.   I don't have the budget or the time to really go that far away from Oxford, but I can travel a little.  Maybe as far as Lexington, KY where my studio is.  Well, that's it on my first performance.
