More Exitement

Last night i couldn't get to bed for about two hours thinking of an idea i have so hopefully writing about it might allow quicker sleep tonight!!

Well, the idea was about a free concert at church. to work really hard to make it work with lighting on the stage in the hall me playing my songs on stage and getting the youth group to plan for it. the main reasons for it would be

1. To make the word of God know (by having the minister give a short talk in the middle of me playing songs
2. To raise money for the church (by selling food and drink)
3. To introduce people to the church and youthgroup (by hosting it at the church with the youthgroup helping)

other things would be to get the youthgroup involved with advertising and planning and makeing sure the word is passed around schools etc. to get people to RSVP for food orders and seating and also to tell whether there were going to be enough people to make all the effort of preparation. i would play with me on guitar and vocals, my bro on bass guitar another guitarist and have to find someone who plays drums

From now until the time (probably sometime in the middle/ 3/4 of the year) i would probably take lessons at the conservatorium of music to improve my guitar playing (with a student teacher or something) and also improve my current songs and make some new ones and when it comes time pick (along with other people) the best ones. i would sit down and improve by reading the book im reading at the moment "writing better lyrics" and grap some tips, keep a ten minutes a day 'object writing' journal and a 20 minutes, three times a week guitar practise journal - i started it (the idea is to write it down a small note about what was done- mine isn't usually short! -and then it gets into a habbit and also provides positive reinforcement as you look over how far you've come) and i have been finding out that i think i am at the end stage of this process where i don't miss to many days without 'needing' or so to speak to practise just cause i love to play it.

This has come as an idea just in my head and also from watching concerts of John Mayer on DVD and going to a Ben Folds concert a while ago (more on the first idea), and i would love to get this under my belt in experience and to get people to hear and tell me if they like it - could this be the start?! (btw - that pic up the top is pretty cool - i like guitars!)
