So my gf and I are in a band together. Just the two of us.
We had our first show last weekend and at practise this week she says “let’s address some flubs from the show shall we?”
At one point after we’d discussed mistakes we both made at the show she says we’re gonna go through the whole setlist with just me so she can help point out when I miss a cue or a note. Before we start, I try to ask for a kiss and she says “Not until you’ve earned it. This is your new reward system.”
So she has me go through the entire set list and every time I’d mess up she’d give me a glare or a raised eyebrow.
“Again.” She restarts the backing track. I go through the song again flawlessly.
“Good boy.” She smiles and I think I’m gonna get a kiss now. “Do it again”
I missed a cue. She stops the track
“Well I guess lightning can’t strike twice. Would you like to try again?”
I have never felt more focused on anything than I was playing through the songs.
