Good Morning!


I'm 54 years old, blessed enough to be semi retired. I was in a country rock band from 97 to 2004, then stopped to raise a family. I kept my fingers semi in shape by playing my acoustic guitar almost daily for at least a few minutes. But I'm a bit rusty on leads now!


I decided to start my "second act" so to speak (My retirement plan? I plan to play guitar!) I've just landed my first solo act every other Tuesday at a local pub. I don't want to get too booked up so I'm trying to avoid getting booked weekly, rather I'm looking for "one time" or "occasional" gigs. My setlist is at www.kenlavoie.com if you want to take a peek and critique.


Any thoughts or advice on getting some "one time" stuff would be so appreciated.


My gear is a Godin A6 ultra with upgraded humbucker (p rail with triple shot mounting ring), my backup is a Taylor 314CE, then 2 QSC 8.1 speakers, and a soundcraft 8fx board. No effects beyond what the board has yet.
