I write some songs and play enough guitar to back up my voice. I play my stuff, mixed with covers at a local restaurant a couple evenings a month. I like it when folks come up to me at the end of a set and say how much they enjoyed the music. I know it isn't perfect. It even seems when I make a mistake and have a bit of a laugh over it, it makes folks appreciate the rest of the evening more.
I have known some guys who play circles around me. Some of whom will play with others but would not put themselves in front of an audience solo. Maybe they think they're not good enough. Maybe it is something else.
I am happy to share my music with folks who also seem to think it is good enough.

Best
