My name is Jill. I am in high school. I don't drink. I don't do drugs. I have never heard of electric bag pipes. I went to a new cafe recently. I prefer that cafe over a bar. I prefer live music. I'm impressed by people who can write their own music. I live with my parents. I love the artist, Jim Croce. Time in a Bottle is on of my favorite songs. I like to sing, but others don't find it enjoyable. I wish I had musical talent. I am interested in learning about Scottish black metal.
My name is Cletus Hucklberry. I work at Burger King. I am 19. I grill in Burger King. I am drug and booze free. I play music. I want to be a rock star. I play the electric bag pipes I invented.  I haven't played them in a week because I hurt my lips on them. I'm interested in playing my bagpipes at a cafe. I like live music. I don't like how live music crowds drink so much beer. I like Scottish black metal. I play Scottish metal on my bagpipes. I write my own music. I wrote a song called "Shake your Bum Bum". I still live at home and I'm currently looking for ways to move out. I don't have a new key for my current living situation yet. I am interested in going to a folk concert with acoustic instruments and a small band. I like Jim Croce. I am especially fond of their song, "Time in a Bottle". I love to sing and harmonize with others. I enjoy simple melodies and harmonies. I have bad stage fright, and have never played my bagpipes in front of a crowd. I like to stand out and be different.
How is your bagpipe playing going? And have you made any progress dealing with your stage fright? Bagpipes going well, stage fright is a lot better.  I went to a hypnotist and it really helped. Going to a hypnotist, is a really creative way to problem solve ! I praise you trying something different. Did they give you any work to do, meditation, etc. ? No, they just give me a large bill to pay.  Insurance didn't cover the session. I hear you. Sounds like it was expensive then. Do you feel the hypnotist was worth it?  For sure, it was.  I am actually thinking I could play in front of some people in a small venue, like a cafe. Cafe, yes, a favorite locale to hang out for me. Love watching musicians too, while drinking coffee, and writing. Does that new cafe you recently tried out have performers on weekends? Seems like I just miss it, I've been asking about performances. Mostly I'm watching people these days. I really love listening while watching people.  Would you consider helping me and serving as my "test audience"?   I'd be open to it, for sure. We could try something online maybe, then build to an in person performance maybe? Sounds like a plan, let's connect in the next few days, we can do something over Zoom.
