Alter Egos

The last time I performed live in front of an audience with just myself and an acoustic guitar... I failed miserably. 

According to my own standards, I failed miserably. 

I have no idea if I actually failed miserably, but I know what my head thinks and I know what my memory contains and I know that memories can be unreliable but I also know how I feel about what I remember...

And tonight I picked up my guitar and played some of the acoustic songs I played that night. 

And something clicked. 

I failed because I was grossly unprepared and also because I didn't know what I was trying to accomplish. 

I had no direction, no through line, no confidence. 

And so... I want to create an alter ego. Because I'm not the person who wrote those songs anymore, but I love those songs and I know there are other people who would love them so I need to figure out how to get them out into the world in the best way possible. 

So an alter ego... it would be a great vehicle for these tunes.

I like glynnjammin, but I would rather it not be something so closely related to my actual self. 

I need to think on it...
