...Make That Every Friday

Well, for those of you tired of hearing me beat up on myself, you'll be happy to know that I rocked it out hardcore on Friday night's performance at The Other Side. I don't know if it was because I was doped up on Dayquil or just getting more comfortable there, but I was really pretty okay! So okay, in fact, that I ended up performing eight songs instead of the five or six I was supposed to sing and I have been asked back on an every week basis now. How kick ass is that?!

The vibe is completely different than any club or bar I've been to in the area. There is no pretense. No one is looking for someone to go home with. No one is trying to be the center of attention or look better than anyone else. Everyone is incredibly respectful of performers even when they are horrid. It's just this core group of people from all walks of life, who want to share their passion for music regardless of the varying levels of talent.

I was in a bubble for so long I had no idea places like this existed out here. They're hidden but they're gems. I feel honored to be working there and one of their few paid performers.

I know Rainy from the radio station captured all of "Down So Long" and there was an awesome guy named Paul who knew me from the web site who caught "Excuse Me Mr." on his camera so hopefully I will have some clips up soon.

In the meantime, make plans to come out some Friday and see the show. There's a lot of talent in that room! I still think I am the least of it. lol... I just know how to tell a good story. And I do love a piano. ;-)
