So half of Roman Holiday played a gig at Johnny Fins tonight.<\/p>\n
It was decent, though there were times I wanted my cohort to just stop playing. We hadn’t rehearsed enough, so the rhythm work was pretty all over the place on the songs we played together.<\/p>\n
The crowd hung around, though…that was so cool. I guess we didn’t suck.<\/p>\n
The staff was friendly and nice, and I got to play “Elenore” by the Turtles and “Hello” (my acoustic show staple) by Lionel Ritchie.<\/p>\n
I enjoyed it. No ringing ears after the show, and a nice check in my pocket. I think I could get used to this sort of thing.<\/p>\n
It was good practice for becoming the singer, because it really showed me where I was inconsistent.<\/p>\n
I think my next bit of therapy will be recording every song we do acoustically so I can hear where I need to improve.<\/p>\n
I think that might be a helpful thing. I also need to learn how to breathe like a singer, because I was running out of air all night. It was really pissing me off.<\/p>\n
Well, enough about me…oh, wait, no, this is my goddamn blog! Peace to all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
