Back home from Middlefaire. My first faire solo. It wasn't too bad. I pulled off the shows well enough. Well, I did on Sunday at least. Saturday, I felt like I was in a daze. It was one of those days, I really wish Andrew was there because he could hopefully cover for ‘space out' Marc. But again, the shows seemed to go over fairly well with my audience.
It was nice playing cat songs too. But it was also tough coming up with other original songs. So many people play the same songs at faires that I wanted to play songs that weren't quite as popular. Andrew and I have that with songs like “Exclamations“, “Lily the Pink“… and most of the songs Andrew sings. LOL.
I need to find more songs like “Lish Young Buy-A-Broom“. I played that a wee bit. I love that song. Such great lyrics. Kinda romantic. Kinda playful. I don't have enough songs like that one. Hmm. Maybe I should write song.
I did improv a song. Those are fun. And this was deteriorated into sick, perverted comedy quite quickly… But it was amusing. The Drunken Damsels listening in there didn't help much. The Pervs. π I had fun hanging a wee bit with those lasses. And of course, always with the Bedlam Bards too. The bastards have me listening to their music now. Grrr! π
Oh and the Damsels have a cool virgin of “Versions”… wait! Flip that statement. Hoping to get those lyrics to post on the website.
But I was saying… Same songs. A friend mentioned the repetition of songs in the Irish music world. Admittedly, I'm HIGHLY guilty of that. But then, I have a devious plan *insert wicked laugh here*, which is to attract new fans to find our other music. And I have been writing a LOT of music recently. Sure, most are instrumental, but not all. And I'm moving in the direction I hope to.
Anyway, enough jabbering. It's late. In fact, it's almost midnight… which means…….
And help us push that song to #1 on CD Baby!!!!
