I've been alerted by a few friends that I've been negligent
with my storytelling, lately...
I apologize.
I've been in a BAH HUM BUG, kind of mood...
My gig last night went.
Keisaku & Greg were in good form...
When I first got in, on the lobby floor of the hotel,
I heard piano music coming from a little alcove.
I went in to investigate, and there was Bruce Stark
playing his beautiful theatrical style of piano.
We gave each other the "hi" sign...
We worked together awhile back at a truly surreal gig,
a church chapel / wine & jazz weekly concert.
Only in Japan.
I loved singing in that cavernous chapel,
but the wine intermission was a bit surreal...
Or, maybe, church is surreal without it.
Anyhoo, I digress.
Up the elevator to the 17th floor...
It was one of those nights that brought me back to
my old piano bar times.
The only difference was then, when someone requested a song,
they put something in your hand for it.
Here's a hint for anyone who feels the need to make requests
of a lady who's on the bandstand singing:
If you have the cohones to disrupt her line-up,
back it up with some Christmas green!
Tonight I'll be performing with Tom Pierson, on piano,
which is always a thrill.
The guitarist I don't know yet.
It should be interesting...
Hey Santa, if you're listening,
how 'bout a big bucket of Krugerrands for me this year?
I've been an awful good girl...
Signing off from Surreal Central...
