In college, I would often play gigs at local coffee shops to make extra money. I’d find coffee shops throughout town, ask if they needed live music, and then grab my guitar and my gear and play a show. I would typically have weeks to prepare for my shows, however, I sometimes found myself “winging it” and deciding spontaneously the day of the show what songs I was going to perform that night. If I didn’t have time to practice, I would perform from my repertoire of “reserve” songs I knew well…
