live! tonight!

As some people who know me very well, I am very fond of music.But I guess that some new friends of mine don´t know that I used to play in a band.About 6 years ago my cousin and me formed a band with the idea of playing our favorite songs.At that time I had very little skill playing the guitar(nowadays I am not a great guitarist anyway)and as my cousin Juan didn´t want to sing,I became the band´s singer.O.k,we were two,we had the guitarist(juan)the "singer"(me)so we needed the bassist and the drummer,the basic rock n´roll formation.The next step was looking for some lads that wanted to play with us.I heard about a boy who was learning to play the drums,so we went to his house and we found this very very young boy(he was 13 years at that time)called Martin.He was a very serious guy,who liked heavy metal and lived with his aunt.We began the rehearsal in his house,in spite of some neighbours´complains.The first time we tried to play a tune(it was a The Cure song)sounded AWFUL.I was singing out of tune,trying to emulate Robert Smith voice,my cousin couldn´t get the right time of the song because Martin was playing too fast.After several weeks of hurting our hands and bleeding our ears,we finally played the song very decently.Yeap,it sounded good,but we needed a bass player to give energy and presence to our sound.Then we found Martin(another Martin in the group).The problem was that we had never played the bass,but he knew a lot about sound equipments and all that stuff.He joined the band,and yes,NOW WE ARE A BAND!!!Obviously,we needed to rehearse more.weeks,and then months passed till we were confident enough to play for an audience.Oh my god!!!we finally got to play in a little party with other bands of my town.I was scared to death,we were going to play in front of people,the vast mayority of them were friends.I was little histerical the weeks before our debut,too nervous to think about so many things,the rehearsals,the sound,the songs...well,finally the big night arrived.We had to play in a very,very small place,full of friends,other bands members and some people I didn´t know.We were the last band to play that night;I was shaking,feeling that my stomach was sick and I couldn´t articulate a word,how on earth am I going to sing?I said to myself.Ok,I recognise I was pretty nervous,but my drummer was worse."hey,I want to go!!!,I think I can´t do it!!!"he told."relax my friend,it will be O.k" I said.I was struggling with my nerves,my real enemies in several moments of my life."guys,it´s your turn"someone said.I walked to the stage,picked up my guitar and got close to the microfone"good evening,we are Ojo Blindado and this is our first show"I said.People were very close to me,looking at me,some screaming our names and cheering.The first chord,it started with A,the drums started,we were playing!!!the crowd began to jump and to mosh.the song ended,they began to clap their hands.yes!!!that was really great,after that first song I was relaxed,I was so happy that I couldn´t stop smiling.That was the beginning of a time that I won´t forget.Thank you guys.
