I've been asked to sit in with a band I helped found in 2021. It was started as a duo then expended to 4 piece. Drums, bass, rhythm, and lead. I was lead, the band leader added another lead guitar for some reason. I left the outfit. I co-wrote two songs and the front man has offered me a chance to sit in on the studio recordings of those two songs. I have no idea what this all entails. Anyone with experience?

This is based on Tod's YT episode today. Back in the summer (for us in Northern Hemisphere) we had a gig at a local public library. It's part of summer reading program. AN hour long set. I've done these for about 7 years now. They are great for audience you sometimes get. (Read "sometimes" how you wish 🤣). Well, in August we did our second of the season and the planets aligned in such a way that our first 20 minutes were awful. The kind of awful where the tip jar is telling not to quit your day job). Anyway, there were kids in the audience and one in particular was interested in my guitar. My sister painted Felix the Cat on the scratch plate. To get us out of our funk I walked over to the mother (I had a wireless unit on guitar) and asked if it was OK to have him come to the stage area. She said yes, he came up, and I offered him a pick to strum the guitar. He did, laughed and giggled, we had a great time, the audience laughed. He sat with his mum and we went on to finish strong from the break of 5-6 minutes. I realize the venue is not a pub or more formal set up. We treat every venue with respect, but this was so needed by us and maybe by the tyke. ANyone else ever engage like this?
