That's all very nice, but the more I think of it the more I am so afraid...
that I will be around experienced people who will be doing their thing and won't include me because I don't know their repertoire or they don't like my voice. This is very similar in principle to the thing about me not being able to watch live shows -- that people will play around me and I not being accepted as a part of it myself.
that I will be around all this equipment and know absolutely nothing about what to do with it. I'm a bit of an advanced-electronics-o-phobe. Show me what it can do for me and maybe I will change my mind, but I won't learn the obsessive-compulsive details and technicalities (despite my obsessive-compulsiveness).
that I will be rejected for my passion. I may make some small compromises on style or lyrics, but I will not hide my motivations - for they are first and foremost my reasons for being here.
PLEASE make this work for me... though I still wonder if any hearts are eager to hear my story...and if they will be moved by it.
Well to sum it up quickly, the $10 gives you:
-Access to the Musicians' Club Jam Space on Campus, which is in the basement of SUB near the Lavender Lounge.
The room has drums, guitars, amps, vocal monitors, a piano, a synth, and even a friggin' accordion! Ha.
That alone is definitely worth it for a musician to join this club. BUT there is also...
-Two major concert opportunities to play in front of a live audience here on campus, either at the Powerplant (The Stills, Stars, and other cool bands have played there) [PP is closed this year --Tuuli.] or Dinwoodie (where RADIOHEAD has played).
-Opportunities to jam with others weekly!
-Opportunities to jam monthly at our BIG JAMS. These will be our monthly meetings and we will try to set up everyone playing along to one song. Imagine 50 people playing Champagne Supernova with guitars, drums, and probably even Violins! That would be pretty cool. We could even head to RATT after for some well deserved drinks.
-Best of all the club gives you the best way to meet other musicians on campus, in order to arrange for lessons or to start a band...That's all very nice, but the more I think of it the more I am so afraid...
