My performance is tomorrow and I'm feeling quite good about it. Naturally I'm nervous, but I've rehearsed well, so it's just a matter of ensuring everything goes right at the time. I'm most worried about getting everything set up right - ensuring my backing tracks play fine and at a good level, and that I'll have enough time to get all my stuff set up. My kit layout is to be quite elaborate so I must be sure to use my soundcheck time to ensure I know exactly how I'm going to set up come my performance.

Once I get to the point of performing with everything in place I feel everything should be okay. I've written up programme notes for the audience to read as I'm eager for them to understand where I'm coming from with my choice of songs. I've titled my set 'Not So Odd Time Signatures', referencing the fact that I find the songs to be very accessible in spite of their use of odd times. I'm not totally decided on whether I will keep this title, but I'd like to make it something along those lines.

My only other concern is a minor injury I seemed to have sustained. My tailbone has been hurting me for a couple of days, and I am unsure of the cause. It hasn't affected my playing so far so I am hopeful that it won't tomorrow either, but I'll be aiming not to do anything that may exacerbate the symptoms lest it affect my playing.
