So, I had a very good 45 minute set that the Bar 20 on the Friday night Surge Event. There were a lot of late twenty- early thirty women in residence. I started with "January Wedding" by the Avett Brothers, which ALL of them know. I do a very old song by Tom Paxton "When Annie Took Me Home" which I've discovered with my voice and whatever I'm doing goes over really well with women of any age. So I'm applauded every song. There's a group of Canadian women that are really expressive. At the end, one of them wants to know if I can play a John Prine song. I know one. I warn her ahead of time, she won't know it. I do "Grandpa Was A Carpenter" which Ed Zimmerman used to sing with the Rhubarb Band, which I have have been singing now forever. Anyway, afterward. Their want to have their picture taken with me. They want the CD. The Surge Guy there doing sound sort of notices how well I've gone over. So I get these email. Yeah, reality check. I'm going to work a Tuesday night small group into the same thing? I'm going to randomly attract total strangers to come to the hooky forgotten bar on Sunset on a weeknight to pay a cover to see me?
I think you have to look life Tom Cruise and sing like Michael Jackson to pull this off. Wake up, there is no La-La Land.
It's never gonna happen. And I ain't going.
