Finally! After three years of wondering if I was good enough, I played pre-service music in Church with piano accompaniment. A song called "Give Thanks."

Unfortunately, the music was played before the live stream recording started. I was pretty nervous, but it turned out fine and I got compliments from members.

I can finally cross that accomplishment off my bucket list.

Congrats on playing for pre-service, 

Very very good song you were able to play for it.

I do believe I'll put that one on my to do list, so when I get caught up I can learn it on the fiddle, it has a pretty chord progerss.

Keep up the good works.

@Grandpafiddle -

Great News! 

BUT... 

Don't stop now! 

Isn't this just the beginning of playing in public? 

Hopefully, it becomes more comfortably/enjoyable as you do it more often!
