I LOVE PERFORMING!!! (Plus the table stool story!)

The Circuit performance was so much fun. I've been sick since then, unfortunately, so I haven't added anything to this blog for a while now. Check out my concert photos at the link below! It really was a great night and I look forward to doing it again. I got a lot of compliments and sold some CDs at the show. Tim recorded the show for me. I like critiquing myself.... you learn a lot from watching a show. We definitely weren't perfect, but I was really pleased with it. Thank you to my band members. They really worked hard! Thanks (this is a sarcastic thanks) Scott for encouraging me to tell my "table" story. I'll have to tell you all about it sometime. It really is funny. Thank you to my oldest daughter for singing with me! She helped me out on Crayon Heart and did a great job.

One thing that I do like about my performances is how comfortable I look up on stage. I don't look nervous, and really I'm not, you can tell that I am having fun. I like interacting with the audience and the band. One thing that I don't like about me is that I really need to get better at playing the guitar. I love to play, but I don't feel as confident about that as I should. I can tell by watching. Hopefully the audience can't. I'm afraid that anyone who plays guitar well would notice. My voice was sounding good that night though, and for me that really is the most important. Thanks to all my supporters who came to the show in Midvale. Having friends and family there really meant a lot to me!!! Keep watching my tour page for updates on shows!

OK... here is the table story... My dear friend Maylon custom made a wooden stool for me. It is made out of old barn wood and looks so neat. He custom measured it and everything for me so it is just the right height so I can sit on it and the mic is still perfect and the rungs are just the right height for exactly where I need my feet so my legs are just the right height for playing my guitar....you get the picture. Anyway.... another custom fit is the seat. I told Maylon I wanted it big enough so my hips didn't hang over the edge... OK..so we measured it and made it just perfect. Well, when it was completed I took it home and set it down in the kitchen. My three year old boy twin took one look at it and said..."Cool, what a neat table!" OK...great, now my hips make a table! Nice. Don't ya love kids! I like my "momma hips"! And... I like my stool! Thanks Maylon! At least the audience got a laugh out of it. I really didn't intend on sharing this story with anyone (thanks Scott for bringing it up!) ... but it's always good to be able to laugh at yourself. And...for the audience to see how human you are!
