Not like the soup, but indeed I have made some progress.
After my last post, I’ve been readying myself for my web mini-concerts. This entails, of course, practice. It’s very humbling to relearn my own songs. It’s funny to do that after a long break, which I really ought not to do, I come back with a rejuvenated sense of enthusiasm.
I don’t know what happened between then (the last time I was gigging) and now, but I hear things differently. I also hear parts that weren’t there before. I’m not talking about massive changes or rewrites, just some enhancements. All in good fun, of course!
I suspect that learning the ukulele for the past year has got something to do with it. I’ve never had much success with stringed instruments, (except the piano of course, which IS technically speaking, “stringed”, just saying…), I usually give up after a few months or weeks even. For some reason though, that lil ole ukulele’s got my lil heart. I certainly put her down every once in a while — I might have even sneered at her a few times. But when I pick her up again, we rekindle our old friendship seamlessly as if we had never parted. A bit dramatic, I know, but little things come in dramatic packages. Wait. Wrong saying. Moving on…
I would like to officially announce my first web concert date. I intend to make a web concert series called the Pre-evening Show. They will be in the early evenings on Saturday nights before, east coasters Saturday night party events begin. These short concert series will be streamed live from my studio on Ustream.com/lucytoon and will be available (not-live) for viewing later if you missed it.
So please join me on-line for my first Pre-evening Show
Saturday, February 27 @6:3o PM
