I sang a new Christmas song with Blake last night at his concert. I learned it on Sunday (same day) so I guess I did pretty good! I sang two of the verses. The second verse I sang had about 4 lines. I got the first one! Haha, the others I think I just blanked and said a couple of the words. Then we both came in on the chorus and the rest of it was good. Haha, it's just funny. I can remember a time when I would have been mortified. Same with Blake. But, we both forget lines every now and then. Since we sing so much I guess it's not as earth-changing each time. But it still was like, Man! I knew those lines!! I was singing them in my head and there was some sort of blockage. I mainly feel bad for the audience because they have to be uncomfortable until I find the words. Oh well! I had a smile on my face. :) Thank goodness it was a funny/upbeat song instead of a ballad! Blake only forgets the lyrics to the songs he writes so I think that is bizarre.
All in the all the concert went well! We had a big turnout for the town of Corn. Blake was a little down on himself because his voice is so vocally tired but I thought he did awesome considering on Saturday he couldn't sing at all. He nailed "Mary Did You Know." We're looking forward to the day with no allergies and perhaps other group members to take the pressure off the soloist!
My little brother (age 21) is coming to stay with us this whole week! He's trying out a job installing sound systems to see if it'd possibly be a career he'd like to do. So I'm excited he's coming!
I think we all have to laugh at ourselves now and then. I'm glad things went well overall. See you guys!
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm impressed you get up there to sing as often as you do. So, a tiny slip like a couple verses is not bad at all. It's great you don't let it eat you up. I would be so embarrassed, I'd never get on stage again. Then again, I don't sing well, so you wouldn't catch me on stage anyway.
