Saturday was another fun time at Jay’s Bistro…we laughed, we sang, we danced…

When I got home I sat down and really reflected on the night. I had several requests for songs and one person in particular that led me to write this on my Blog. Brian requested Time After Time and i knew the song and i was so glad I could sing that for him. There was this other guy…and I have never met him before, but he acted like he owned the place, and he was wanting Rock music. I have no beef with Rock music and in fact I know a ton of it, but he wanted me to sing Led Zeppelin. As much as I love taking song requests I think it is fair to say that you cant just throw randomness on me. Even if I know the song I would want to be able to practice it with Mark to make sure I can really remember it. Time After Time worked perfectly because Mark, Myles and Myself all knew the song but I didn’t feel comfortable singing Led Zeppelin, even if I had felt comfortable I wouldn’t want to. So I have decided to publicly ask that if you want me to learn a song to sing at Jay’s to email me a week before.

I love learning songs and I do so everyday…So don’t be shy.

Also if you cant remember to email me or you find yourself sitting in the audience thinking…”Gee I really wish she would sing…” Don’t be afraid to ask but keep in mind that I may say I cant do that song, and try not to get mad at me.

My point and problem with my experience on Saturday was that I was in a position where the guy was not accepting to the fact that I wasn’t prepared to sing Rock music at a Jazz Lounge. I am good, and I can pull thousands of songs from my memory but not any song ever written and without being able to hear the music to jog that memory it tends to put me in an embarrassing situation. I also think the 30 odd songs we performed that night were wonderful! Special thanks to Mark and Myles, you both Rock my socks! And Jon Long (Trumpet) joined me on a couple tunes as well so we had fun

Next featured night for me will bring a night of all new material. So I am going to be working my butt off to learn 30 new songs in the next week or two…because I love ya!
