Well Worth The Wait

Posted on September 24, 2006

I am listening to In Hiding
from the album “Yield” by Pearl Jam
on my iTunes right now!

You might remember that back in May I witnessed the Beatles White Album show that Will Taylor put together. I raved about it here.

Well, tonight I got to be a part of the encore performance and although there was a late start due to weather and some sound issues and other assorted small problems, the show was super positive and a lot of fun to do! I got to perform side by side with some amazing musicians and was fortunate enough to sing Savoy Truffle. I almost had to sing Happiness Is A Warm Gun because we thought Darin Murphy’s voice might not hold up, but he made it to the show and with the help of some whiskey and Singer’s Saving Grace, he pulled off that tune and Piggies. Here’s a list of who did what…

I can’t describe what it’s like to rehearse a tune over and over again, both with and without a band, and then to get up on stage and physically feel something else take over of the performance and have it transformed into something way better than what you imagined. That’s what happened with me tonight. In fact, it was so not what I planned that I almost forgot the words at one point, but they came to me in the nick of time and it was perfect timing at that!

Roberto the Cameraman was able to get a few shots of the show. They are mostly blurry and darker than we both hoped for, but I will work them over in Photoshop and upload them in a flickr gallery this week. He also tried to grab some video of my performance, but the battery died in the middle of it. Once I get that edited and up on YouTube I will of course post it here as well.

For now, just know that it was truly a positive experience and such a blessing for me to be a part of it. I made a lot of new friends and got to see a lot of old friends as well.

Tomorrow is an all day Rocky Horror rehearsal….
