Scaredy cat!

Yesterday I went to meet a man about a singing/keyboard duo. I would be doing the singing half. Since I haven't performed for a live audience in over 10 years, he's not exactly thrilled with my resume. But he must think I'm halfway decent because he's asked me to do a little song homework.

Since I met him over the internet, Gabe drove me to his house. He came in with me and just got to know the guy, who is named Ken and is, to my great relief, not an ax murderer. Just a dude that's been playing keys for a long time.

Now for those of you who don't know by now, singing is my thing. I've been avoiding it for years for whatever reason, but all my excuses have fallen away, leaving me to either admit I don't really love singing and performing or that I really really do.

This Artist's Way book I have been doing is really helping to pave the way for me creatively. I hesitate to get very airy-fairy about the whole thing but certainly something is happening that this opportunity to sing in exactly the way I want has appeared.

As far as I see it, I'm being given a gift all wrapped up in a neat little package. I love presents! I'll let you know what happens as this unfolds.

Oh by the way, got any favorites? I'd love some comments on your favorite songs to hear at a wedding or small gathering. Standards or contemporary... I'm open. I'm supposed to come up with a few songs and I know sometimes the best ideas come from some one else's head!
