Chương 101: 101 - Confusion

As I approached the bar, people in line began to recognize me and wave to me.

"Hey, BlackVelvet!" A girl in line shouted excitedly.

"Hey bro, are you playing here tonight?!" A guy also shouted excitedly.

The people who recognized me weren't that many, but I was happy that in a bar where I hadn't played before, there were already people who knew me, which meant that the crowd at the gig would be a lot easier.

One thing I've noticed in the shows I've played in the last month is that having a group of 5 to 10 people who know you in the audience is enough to make the show a lot easier, because those people get excited, which makes the people who don't know you curious and make them pay more attention to you.

Of course, the quality of your music would have to be as good as the expectation and curiosity of these people who don't know you, but achieving that at the level I was at was good enough.
