My Son Will Be Playing At This Club!

He doesn't want me to go! I want to see him perform though . . . should I show up incognito? Big crowds, he might not notice! This is not his band, but this is how the stage looks.

    Thanks . . . I will see what I can talk him into. I think sometimes as a parent, I need to back off some and respect his wishes. Sigh.

    he is your son and you carried him for nine months
    there is a bond between mother and child that is so powerful it is unexplainable yet it is full of love i believe....how about just talking to him about you checking it out for a small amount of time?

    I will . . . so far he is being impossible! I paid for all those piano lessons and bought him his first bass and guitar. I hate to pull that one out of the hat, but a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do!

    A couple of other musicians have told me that they found playing before a crowd of strangers easier than their own family. I perform as well and my parents were at my first performance. I found it comforting. I'll let everyone know after next Friday what happens!

    Mmmm, not easy, if you have given your word not to go....there will be other times. Will he invite you ? That would be good, and at least you could be in the front row, but i really don't know, you know your son best, what do you think?? Sounds like a great kid :)

    Haven't given my word yet! I think I can wear him down! They have a bar towards the back. I figured if he'd agree, I could slip in and out unnoticed. We'll see . . . The perils of parenthood!

    Yes, i remember...just about, when i was starting out, and performing in front of friends and/or family was more nerve racking than with strangers, but ones confidence grows with experience and pretty soon he will be playing to the crowd. Wearing him down sounds like a good plan, i'm sure he'll be fine, good luck :)

    Good advice . . . I'll give him some time. Even though it will be hard!

    That's what I said! He told me not to come, that I'd make him nervous. It's a pretty crowded club though, I'm going anyway. Just not telling him. He's so young that he can only be in the place while performing. They will put him out after his set (the other band members have at least six-seven years on him)!

    I will go and quietly watch and try not to cry!

    Your son will be proud of you even if you do show up incognito.
