Well, tonight will be my second visit to the newly-formed local uke group. I had a ball last month, and I'm anxious to go again.
The problem is a bit of stage fright. Tonight's theme is "Island Songs", and we've all been encouraged to submit a song for the group to try. This involves (as best I understand it) selecting an appropriate song, finding a chord and lyrics sheet, making copies of the sheet to share, and getting up in front of the group and teaching/leading the song. Now you know where the problem is! :uhoh:
The song I've chosen is White Sandy Beach, by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. I found a good song and lyric sheet. I added the four chord diagrams (C7, Eb, Ebm and F). I found and added web links to the video of Iz's version, as well as an excellent two-part tutorial from YouTube. I've made the copies. I've been practicing the song.
The problem is a touch of cold feet. I'm not sure how I'll react in front of the group. I certainly don't want to make a fool of myself. It doesn't help that this morning I woke up with the start of a cold with a bad throat. I've never stood up in front of anyone and played before....
Any advice?
