Well, you were there.

I'd have been doing it too if you were out there.

Well, yeah, real quick before I forget, too, a great example of a guy who...

Had that same mindset and was able to maintain it really well as this mandolin player named johnny stats in west virginia To me, he's one of the best and he's won all these awards and stuff and he still works for ups full-time and like he could go out and tour with it play mandolin for anybody he wanted to but he But man when you meet johnny, like you can tell he's just got this.

Um this joy in him that I don't think he would have if he But as far as me with the open mics, um

Yeah, it was just... A lot of them were really... A lot of them were embarrassing.

There was a couple... I remember there was times where I'd go up and try to do... I'd do, like, one song.

I'd get, like, halfway through the next song, and I'd be so nervous by that point.

I couldn't remember any of the words.

And there's a couple times... I remember there was one time in particular that I just...

I just walked off halfway through the song, put my guitar in the case and just, I just left.

I didn't even like, couldn't even stay in there.

Just total, you know, just total freak out.

Just embarrassment.

And I never drank in bars either.

Like I'm not a, I wasn't really a social drinker.

So I was just there to try to do the mic.

So it was kind of, I was a little out of place anyway.

I feel kind of out of place in a bar to start with.

Yeah.
