Thanks for the advice Kenny... wish I had read that before-hand, HA!
Alas, I did not place in the top 2 for this nite. It WAS showmanship & definte skill(needless to say) that came out ahead. It was a tough nite for 11 competitors. My lady told me they shorted me my 3min, but who knows...
Too bad Guitar Center cheapened out this year... no discount cards or giveways or anything!
Well, 'til next year!
Thanks for your input
