I feel like the piano musician equivalent to Rockie Balboa lately. Decidedly I haven't been practicing like I should and my fingers are slow and out of shape. But, since I have made some concerts, suddenly I'm forced to get everything back into gear. So, these upcoming concerts are like my prize fights. I'm rusty doing drills I usually could do with my eyes closed, having a conversation with someone else and bouncing a soccer ball on my head... ok, maybe not so much on the ball thing. Nonetheless, my out of shape practicing is in full steam. Now, I just need to find a nice set of steps to run up with that crazy inspirational music playing in the background so I can jump around and be on top of the world. That would be only so cool.
Back to earth. I hope I'm ready for these warm up concerts coming up. It's incredibly challenging to be prepared to play the music just as it is... but to set up a whole show and get the timing of jokes down etc etc is fairly daunting. But, that is why the first few concerts are warm ups in front of friends and family. I also want to try some new things out: jokes, song order's, me singing (oye) and really bring everything up a notch.
It's just nice getting out there again even though I'm anxious about it. The time away has been nice, but I much prefer being in the game.
Finally, the website will be getting a much needed overhaul within the next 4-12 months so that is great. Keep your fingers crossed as I hope to restock Dedications and record my second album within that same time frame as well.
May this year be great to all,
Chad
