Have you performed in front of an audience?
I just recently opened up for Grammy award winning Latin stars Gilberto Santa Rosa, Gisele and Charlie Zaa. This was at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut to a sold out audience of 10,000! Needless to say it was an incredible experience! I was also blessed with the unbelievable opportunity to perform at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch! That was one of those amazing moments in life that couldn't be predicted and my band was truly blessed!. As for interesting performing moments how about this.....I once did an outdoor show for 10,000 people with a chimpanzee riding a unicycle and three elephants (with a bit of an attitude I might add)this was when I belonged to an amateur performing group in Canada. This is no joke, it was quite an experience but I swore I would never be outstaged by a primate again!!
