Topic: A Mance Lipscomb tribute concert

[kinsuk]

Well i have been learning mance's tunes over the years by using my ear or imitating videos ,
recently i bought the 2 dvds taught by ernie hawkins  , i have calculated itll take me about a good year to master it
do you guys think itll be a good idea to perform at my local gig area (which is a school's ground ) 
i am expecting an audience of about 20-30 people out of which 10 will be family hahaha .
Any ideas inputs /suggestions/ lessons are all deeply appreciated ,
cheers folks
