A Concerted Effort

I vaguely recall my experience performing last night. I consider it a success. As I said, I depend on screaming girls to cover over my little slip-ups. But last night my first song, Mistaken, sounded almost perfect even without them. It's a different feeling when you play for an attentive audience in an ideal setting, but I'll get used to it. You should have heard the way I played Easy. I rewrote the whole second verse as I was singing it. Can't even remember what I sang. Lucky for me, I'm as much of a phenomena as I am an artist. It lets people find redeeming qualities in my act outside of my playing and singing - I hope. I couldn't stay to hear the other performers because I have to try to get back here by 11 o'clock or I might lose my bed. But musicians like Mike Wettering and Don Alder are veteran pros and I was honoured to share the stage with them. Thanks to the Theatre for putting on the shows that draw listeners into the lounge where I perform. And thanks to those listeners for supporting original songwriters. So that's it for 2010. I played four Monday nighters. Not much, but I hope it shows my determination. I'm sure if I keep it up, I'll smooth out my sound and get some better gigs. But right now, I guess I should find a home.
