Thinking about your first gig ever: please tell us about your feelings, songs played, acceptance aso.
I started in Danny's Pan in Hamburg/Germany, got 3 bottles of beer for playing 3 songs (Nobody knows you, when you're down and out, Backwater Blues and It's a lesson too late) and got a little bit of applause by about 20 people.
Was a thrilling experience. So I went on doing this kind of music (blues and folk) for some years without any intention to become a professional. Did it just for fun.
