On the anticipation of a new experience....

I have a new experience coming up in 2 days. I will be going to a recording studio in Atlanta to lay down tracks for flute that might be used on someone's new cd that they are currently producing! That someone is Amy Keesee. She lives in Ohio, but, in one of those strange coincidences that occur occasionally in one's life, my Mom works part time for the Christian financial planning company that Amy's dad founded (Faithfull Family Life Ministries) and Amy was needing a flutist in the Atlanta area.
I'm a bit nervous about this, since I've never done anything quite like it before. I don't do much solo performance on flute (though I have done so in high school and college...usually for ratings or a grade....). I've never recorded solo either (though I have recorded in large group settings). I've also never done much improvisation on flute. This is actually what makes me a little bit more nervous. I'm very much used to playing what's written. For this, I have a vocal/rhythmic demo and a rough chord sheet. It should be interesting and educational for me. Who knows? If I do well at this, I may get more calls from Amy's producer if he needs a flutist for someone else's album. It could be the start of a new (and unlooked for) career for me. But that's putting the cart before the horse. Perhaps I should just concentrate on getting through the first recording.... More about this after the recording on Tuesday.
