That's very good Kevin. Just something I wanted to put in everyone's ear, sometimes if you don't feel that comfortable playing by yourself, it might help to have someone who might be a little more experienced help you out. But it all has to be CLEARED first. Going through things a couple of times should say if they should do it or not.
It can also be HORRIBLE, like Phil described above. I have TERRIBLE people play while I was doing something and it SUCKED! One 13 year old boy one time was a "local celebrated fiddler." I was asked to come to this show and everyone thought I was this big Nashville deal and I was going to be his ticket to stardom. His Dad asked if he could get up, because he had been studying my songs.
He did and I was doing my song "Too Much Blood." I told him to "listen for the breaks." From the first moment I started to play, he started sawing away. He just went on and on and on through every song and every break, never listening to what I was doing. Finally, at the last chorus, I grabbed the neck of his fiddle, stopping him from playing. That was the only break he took. After I let go, HE KEPT GOING ALL THE WAY OUT.
You always have to LISTEN to what OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING!!! I'm sure you'll all do fine.
