Just never had the courage nor the knowledge of how to get all of that started. I'm working on playing acoustic guitar along with my own backing tracks of my songs and singing. So far I've played acoustic and sang as well as singing to my own tracks but haven't combined both.

I also want to finish up a "Gospel Rock Opera" I've felt led to compose and perform since about 2004. It's still in the works but it has its starts and stops. At least I'm finally stepping out of my comfort zone and doing something about it though so that feels good.

Thanks for starting this inspiring thread, Mister Nelson.

Hey You betcha Stevie.
I started the thread because sometimes after thinking about something for awhile you just need to hear yourself say it out loud to get the ball rolling.

Congrats on your Celebrate Recovery performances. That's one huge step forward, indeed.

That's a great idea playing and singing along side your own backers. I hear a lot of artist doing that. What a way to really fill out a performance. You can even add your vocal harmonies, if you like.

The Gospel Opera sounds interesting.

As for the starts and stops... As long as the starts out number the stops...... by "ONE", consider it progress, my friend.
