The Guitologist | 2 years ago

What's your toughest gig ever? Let me know in the comments. This was mine.

I did not know this was being recorded. Found that out later. My Mamaw's name was Nora Inez Knight Linzy. She was a beautiful soul. She co-wrote the first song in this short set with me. The other song is a traditional gospel song called "Angel Band" from 1860, made famous by The Stanley Brothers. I also sang that song at my Papaw's service about a decade ago. His name was Lafe Kenneth Linzy. He served in WWII and Korea. That was my other hardest gig. I don't think there is any way to prepare for this kind of thing other than to practice the songs until they're engrained in your brain and just try not to choke up on the day. Easier said than done. Breaking the ice with a joke is probably a good idea too.
