So a couple of things…

One, I decided to change my appearance today. I’m saddened by the fact that I didn’t decide to do this sooner. My hairdresser did an amazing job, I feel. At first when I was driving to the salon, I wondered if I had made the right decision and for the first time in a very long time I didn’t give a damn if I had or not. That felt so good. I’m sensing a trend with me as of late. Perhaps it’s really living inside my life. Yeah, I think that’s it. So watch out world. This is just the beginning and the tip of the iceberg.

The second item is at rehearsal last night we grabbed great takes of some of the tunes we’ll be doing for the reading and art viewing Saturday night. Continuing my bravery streak, I’m debuting my kiddie concertina “skills” at said show along within this clip. This is “Used To Be” which we’ll be performing. I am totally digging this rendition of my song and I hope you will too. With this upbeat Calypso feel (suggested by Aaron) I won’t ball my eyes out. Which is nice. Nobody wants or needs to see that. And the reason I say that is because Mark Miskelly and I had worked on this tune where he put a beautiful Spanish classical guitar-esque piece behind the lyrics and it was pretty heartbreaking. For me anyway. We still might investigate that avenue further, but for now, we’ll keep it where it’s at.

We also got a great grab of my rendition of Mary Gauthier’s tune too, but I will unveil that perhaps Friday to entice you further to come out to the show Saturday night to see it live.

PS: Hey, remember that blog post about being an empath? And me being a wimpy ass’d Pisces? Don’t worry. Lots of people think Pisces are wimpy pussies. Including Pisces themselves. Well, that isn’t the case. Johnny Cash was a Pisces. I will leave it there. Pick it up at another time. Save “The Intricacies of Astrology” dissertation for another blog post.
