Stirling Club Show

Kelly Clinton produced the Stirling Club Talent Contest and I want to thank her for all of the support and compassion that she showed me. I also want to thank the band and the audience. I had a great time and am happy that I did it and the performance turned out as well as it did.

I had not performed on stage with a band in as long as I can remember. I might have sit in and jammed on a rare occasion, but this was the first time it was a planned public performance. So when I did not show up for my audition with her, she called and convinced me that I had everything to gain from coming down and seeing her.

I must confess, I was more nervous auditioning for her, then actually performing in front of an audience. The audition went well and she booked me in the show. I give her credit for sticking with me as she did not know me and as far as she knew, I didn't show up for the audition, what if I did not show up for the show?

I remember her asking me how I wanted to be introduced and her thinking that my idea was not a good one, but she decided to give me my way and as you will see, it went over perfectly and set the tempo for my entire performance.

With the exception of the songs that I preformed that night night, all of my chatter, was spur of the moment and right off the top of my head. Although, I thought about the direction of my performance would take for years, I never had a chance to work on the material or perform it to prefect it.

Hope you enjoy this performance as much as I enjoyed performing it. Something tells me, I am not going to take another 14 year hiatus from performing.

FYI: Please note that it has been pointed out the following: You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1967 in Woodstock, New York, during the self-imposed exile from public appearances that followed his July 29, 1966 motorcycle accident.[1][2] A recording of Dylan performing the song was first officially released on the Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II album in 1971.[3] An earlier 1967 recording of the song, performed by Dylan and The Band, was issued in 1975 on the album The Basement Tapes.[4] The Byrds also recorded a version of the song in 1968 and issued it as a single.[5][6] The Byrds' version is notable for being the first commercial release of the song, predating Dylan's own version by three years.[3][6][7]
