a part is to be

 Well hi hello. Turns out I have been remiss about putting some recent performances on the blog, despite having published them to YouTube a while ago.


Oh wait. I just remembered that I'm embarrassed by them.


Carrying on.


I did a couple of little ditties for an open mic last month, based on songs I was into in childhood. The first was "Since I was Two" which is from the computer game Math for the Real World, an educational game whose premise is that I'm a band manager and helping a band go on tour around the country, and using ~math for the real world~ by correctly counting out change and navigating pay phones and post offices. And you also perform the songs.


This particular song was a girl bragging about how good she is at math.


Next I sang one that regular readers of the blog may recognize from last year -- "One Little Star" from Follow That Bird. Once again not including the trio harmonies in the last verse even though it's my favorite part.


So here's those.



Since I Was Two / One Little Star


That's not all that happened at that open mic, actually. I also decided to hop on with City of Stars (that's a band) and give a little, uh, color to their performance of Total Eclipse of the Heart. Boy were there some mic issues though, right?



Total Eclipse


Speaking of City of Stars, I guess I'm kinda in it? Here's a link to a Latin Night concert we did a couple weeks later.

Let's see what else the summer brings, shall we?

Every morning I check for new blogs. Well worth the wait. "One Little Star," brought back memories. Not even sure I still have that video. Did not know you played the drums. You are surprising me constantly.
