A quick change of wardrobe.

So the life of a artist consist of a lot of ups and downs, sometimes, you work a lot sometimes you don't work for days. Last Saturday i had 2 shows in 1 day. Very different shows .I met my client the day before who i was doing the show for at there place. When i walked in i could feel such a great energy inside, they were like a family, she was a amazing interior designer, Taiwanese older lady with a great laugh an something that made me just want to hug her an her husband was Japanese an a lover of vodka. His motto being a half a bottle of vodka a day keeps him young and energetic . He tried his best to get me drunk, and he almost succeeded but i know my cut of limit. Jean Baptiste who is a interesting and mysterious guy is the fellow who contacted me for the performance. An he is a character himself, someone who is hard to read and also hard to pin down for precise answers of who he is .I decided to let my guard down and when i do that , it consist of a lot of laughing ,hugging and smiles all around. They welcomed me in there place and was automatically hounding me to sing, sing sing. I wanted them to wait. Its better when you make someone wait for what you do , its like the perfect magic trick. They treated me like a star, and everyone loves to be treated this way. They wanted music that was slow and emotional , and anyone who knows me , its what i love the best. We saw eye to eye and the ideas flowed on how to set it up for me. From there i rushed to my rehearsal of my second show , which was at mural bar. My friend Dane and Scott created a funk band a while back called pharaoh and asked me to join as there singer. So i was more then happy to try something new. This time around Dane renamed the band and added more musicians and i must say its sounds beautiful. After rehearsal its a night of nervousness and waiting for me. trying to remember 30 songs and what key they are in is quit a challenge.
The day finally arrived an usually when i wake up i make sure i drink lots of warm water an lemon to clear my throat. I chose my 2 outfits to wear to each performance. Since the one in the nice villa was first i chose something white , (khaki white pants and nice white and brown striped shirt) and for the funk performance i chose a t-shirt with a monkey singing on the front an my tight fitting jeans.
Time for the shows.
1st show starts at 8:30 and second starts at 10:30 so i need to make sure driver is ready for me ,cause when i am done singing i need to get back into town which is 45 minutes away.I start my first performance and the first thing i noticed is people are eating, and if you don't know a little about Chinese, they are noisy eaters an they can be quit rude trying to talk over you singing making enough noise to distract a bear from hibernating i am sure. It bothered me so while singing i make a mental note, never sing here if they are eating dinner. I finish my last song an automatically feels things didn't go so well as i had hoped,crowd applause was minor and although some people came up to me and complimented on my singing i didn't feel it was the best crowd to continue with more. I rushed to get in van and i began to change clothes,of course the driver is weired out by that ,but i am sure it will give him something to talk about to his friends.
I get to next performance and i need a glass of whiskey, it always calms me down.
My second glass in and its time to funk up the place. Its amazing no mistakes we are going and going and i am feeling good. Thank you Jack Daniels!!! not many people at concert but i think we as a band had so much fun we didn't care. Show finishes at 2a.m an i am tired and my voice is exhausted, 1 more glass of whiskey an i push past the people who want to tell me how good we are.Love you love you but i need to lay down .i have a show the next day and if i don't sleep enough my voice will shut off. I woke up the next day sounding very much like Barry white and most of you know i am a tenor . All in a days work!!!
