Country vs. Rock N' Roll
The cabaret went off without a hitch and was really well received. That said I would like to tweak it,make it better and more unique to Tex in the City, LLC. I feel like it was a decent entree into our producing career but there were some elements that could be energized and polished and more intense. We got alot of great support from an Off Broadway show, our liquour sponsor, and even Texas gal Liz Smith. I had a great time singing. I missed it alot and I found that my abilities as far as harmonizing and catching on reasonably quickly have grown. I think my favorite song that I sang was "Heartbreaker/Magic Man", a Rock Girl duet I did with Amanda. This number wasn't even in the original set list. We decided to replace a Eurythmics medley since neither one of us was really feeling that one. It's a good thing we did, too. The Rock Girl Duet added a much needed rock push to the end of the show and besides that, I got to sing like Ann Wilson. And seeing as how I had met a somewhat wild Blue-eyed man (who may or may not be Magic...I haven't decided yet) the weekend before, I had a personal connection with the song. The other solos, Seven Year Ache and Rock Me Right went pretty well too. I have had two separate people tell me that each was one of their favorites. So I am hit fresh with a new wave of the virus. You know the one where you forsake all hope of a secure lifestyle for an unknown life singing, performing and living hand to mouth. What kind I say? God and my family takes care of me and I am sick.
I got some special treats at the cabaret as well. Jenny decided she couldn't stand it and got a quick ticket to NY online. I knew once she was booked that my mom was sure to follow. We had a great time for the two days they were here despite the fact that I had no heat for the first night of their stay. They got to see the first night of the cabaret and were off by Tuesday morning. A special thank you to both mom and Jenny for putting up with me on Monday. D-Day of the cabaret and I was swamped! And a doubly special thanks to Jen for a great birthday present and costume for the cabaret. I love that shirt!
As I mentioned earlier, the second night Rhett and one of the Birthday Boys came to the show. Through a glitch in the system they ended up sitting in the first table stage left, right up against the stage. So much for the fourth wall. And my song selections were particularly daring. Try singing "your mama sure done raise you right, when it comes to home cooking you eat every bite. Take your sweet time, got all night....I wanna show you how to Rock Me Right" in front of a guy you met five days before and his Fortuitous Same Day Birthday Friend. So much for the demure approach. Shameless really.
