One day closer...
Oh my what a terrific rehearsal I had on Thursday! I am excited about the new tunes, everything seems to be falling into place but... I still have some big work to do because I lost a week of practicing while I was ill. Lyrics that resist capture, the changed ending of a previously well-memorized tune, the second and third thoughts about how to sequence the set - these are all last-minute stress triggers. And that's not all. No, there's plenty more to fret over. Will the tailor have altered my clothes in time? There are a lot of events going on Monday night - will enough people come to my show to cover the expense of doing the show in the first place? And will the cat be sick on the carpet while I am singing downtown?
And you thought entertainment was all grace and glamour!
