My first gig was at a small show in a venue. There were about 10 other people there that were my age and when I went up to play they all listened so quietly, I wish a gig could always be that personal when it comes to the audience. I have seen clips from Paco Pena's "A Compas" and I believe shows like that are perfect because the audience has to constantly react in their minds to what is going on, thus keeping their interest. Anyway, I ended up not getting paid because the venue owner was very poor, which was ok because overall is was so much fun.
