A half hour before the show I wrote down a set list on a sheet of paper but realized that I wouldn’t be able to read it because I am short-sighted and don’t like to wear glasses on stage. The reason I don’t wear glasses is that I don’t like the focus lines around my view of the guitar’s fretboard. Better to see the guitar right in front of me and the audience blurry, I feel.
If I had remembered to bring artist tape I could have written the list on that and taped it to the guitar. Instead I wrote the list on my arm. It worked just fine.
We played a lot of new pieces and, amazingly, remembered all of these new arrangements. It was great to perform again and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The audience seems to have a good time, too. I was told that for many in the audience it was the first concert in a long time.
love it ! tks for sharing
(Been a real treat following your posts.)
I would have loved to see you, but I’m still not comfortable with concerts and crowds. Perhaps next year!
Wish I could have been there but Seattle is a long way from where I live. It is great that artists are starting to play live music again. Glad you played Dance 4 Me – I like that song very much.
I’m realizing how funny you are! As in that subtle tiny foot caught in the photo. :-). :-)
I believe I first saw you perform at Seattle Aquarium in 2000 or so? I was gobsmacked and have 5 of your CDs. I just saw your show at Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix this past Saturday. Still amazing. Very small venue again, I was seated 4 rows back and just in awe of the beautiful music and slideshow. It blended perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent.
