On June 17th (that is, earlier today, since I count post-midnight posts as still being TODAY!):
And I had a GREAT time! The audience was VERY small (I guess I should have promoted it a lot more). However, the people who were there were wonderful poets and artists themselves, and I loved how they listened.
It was lovely to sing for them, play guitar, read my poems and stories, and accompany myself in my readings on my slit drum, my wooden fish-scraper, my clay bongos, and the pear-shaped shaker.
My daughter said she loved it, and my husband had sweet words to say, as well.
I was happy.
It’s been eighteen years since I did a solo gig that lasted an hour.
I am slowly easing back into performance, and I loved tonight’s gentle entry into it!
