I did a full set of originals at Daily Perks tonight, and there were a few more present (though not by many) than the crowd of six I’d anticipated (gotta think positively). In addition to my current songs, I pulled some relics from the archives that I never thought I’d play in front of an audience, such as Lice Blue Hue, The Operation, and Have You Heard The Good News?. (Who knows, maybe in some alternate universe I even did Children’s Abortion Workshop…?) I didn’t have too many lyric slip-ups, but I do notice it is a little harder in general to physically play the guitar when I’m aware of an audience. In the last several months I’ve played in front of people about six times, so I am getting used to it, but I’d get more used to it if I did it more. (That would also increase my chances of getting in front of some larger audiences.)
A recurring theme in my feedback lately is compliments on my falsetto singing voice. It’s interesting to me that people single that out. I don’t think of it as anything special. Maybe it’s because most guys don’t even attempt it?
