Once Again I went out to play the Guitar!

Last week, I got a call from a long-time friend of mine that she needed me to come play the guitar for her in a church not too far from my place. This is not the first time I am playing for her, but would likely be the second time. The first time I played for her was about last year when she called me for a special program for her church. Her church was really far away from my house but I was able to make it.

One thing you should know is that the first time I played the guitar for her was not the first time she called me to play for her. She had once called me about 3-4 years ago to play for her and I gave her my word, but on that day I disappointed her and she was angry at me. I think it actually took her 3 years to think of calling me again. I guess she was probably scared of me disappointing her again.

She is a friend from my days at the polytechnic. I used to teach her how to play the guitar back then but she never got to learn it because she could not have her own personal guitar. We have been friends for about 5 years now.

I guess you may be wondering why I am wearing nylon? that is because I was trying to secure myself from the rain that would fall. Earlier that day when I was going to this event, I was heavily beaten by the rain. It fell as if it would not fall again for the remaining days of the year. This day happens to be last week Saturday, I had earlier planned to visit two locations but I had to cancel it due to the weather condition.

This image above was taken unaware. I gave out my phone so they can take pictures and even record some videos. I have a lot of short clips on my phone which is because the person chose to make videos using Snapchat which split each of the videos into a duration of 1min each.

One of the fun moments I had was when I and the keyboardist switched instruments, I went to play the keyboard for a while and he took the guitar. I knew him to play the guitar better than the way he played it that day. I think that is because he has not been rehearsing or given much time to the guitar as he does to the keyboard.

I saw this picture to be a little funny when I imagine it in my head. They were waiting for Starboy to snap pictures with them. Do you know who the Star boy is? That's me definitely!

I was busy eating while they were waiting. I had not eaten since morning and I was beaten by rain at the same time. So I guess you could understand my condition at that moment.

From my mouth, it is very easy for you to notice I was eating without telling. I agree if you think that nobody is fine in this picture because it is true. Everyone here is stressed out already from the rain to the singing and everything.

After the whole event, I had to face issues with transportation and traffic. I got home 3 hours after I left the place. The day was full of stress for me which I didn't sign up for.

Sorry about the stress Starboy 😅...
Judging by the heavy rain, transportation and traffic I'm guessing you stay in Lagos? 👀

Wow, so you not only play the guitar but the keyboard as well, that's cool 🤩. They're both my favorite musical instruments. Someday, I wish to learn to play one of them at least.

I also think it was cool of you to come through for your friend and not disappoint her despite the weather conditions and stress attached to it.

Yeah.. She begged me a lot. I just had to see how I could do it.

Lol, Starboy! There's no way I'd successfully get any work done on an empty stomach. No freaking way. Meanwhile, when do you intend to play the guitar for me as well?
