I attended an amateur musician's year-end party and performed Elliott Smith's cover. I believed I'd overcome my stage fright when I was able to give my all in a dance recital, but I realized I was mistaken. Last night, my fingers shook, and I couldn't pick the appropriate string. I had to stop several times and each time I restarted from the middle. I was disappointed. I'd hoped to show the beauty of Elliott's song and the outcome of my three-year training. However, the audience was really friendly. Some people asked me about the song, and the owner of the venue bar sent me off to a parking lot in the chilly rain and gave me a compliment. I really appreciate them. The food was quite good, too. Furthermore, this experience provided insights into my performance abilities and the opportunity to reconsider my practice plan. I'm happy to have taken part.
