DAY 22!!!! because there still is a world; it was SHOW DAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!

Wow! Over Already! just got home and I am exaughsted - lemme tell you I would like to just face plant onto this bed tight now and pass out- that would be SO satisfying--- but alas, not yet - still have some all-important blogging to do:

Daily Practice:
Minutes: 30
Songs worked on: Shows songs - which were: Breathe from In the Heights and 'In Short' from Edges.

WARMED UP - big time, as much as I could this tired body, sang thru songs and hopped in a taxi- sang in the taxi - he was very sweet and thankfully welcomed me to sing, and wished me good luck. Thank you, whoever you are. I gave him a GOOD tip for the record. I believe if you subject your taxi driver to 'lip trills' he/she deserved it.

Live Performance!!!!
FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE:
here's a link to the vid/s on youtube: 


'Breathe' by Lin Manuel Miranda from 'In the Heights'


'In Short' by Pasek & Paul fom the musical 'Edges'


(video to come soon)
WOW- so today was the day and it was amazing - I wish I could do it over and over and over and over. So, no, it was not 'perfect' which I always try to be (an, at times, debilitating trait)- messed up a couple words (I hope imperceptibly except to those who might know the songs word for word - except the one line I messed up and didn't quite make sense lol - it happens - what can I say - I pretended it did)

I gotta say, I am SO thankful to Jon D Forslund for producing this show and creating such an awesome opportunity, Garrit for being a brilliant pianist and Jodi (the host) for being so great (GO SEE HIS SHOW AT THE DUPLEX TOMORROW!!!) and the ENTIRE cast for being so amazing - seriously - I feel honored to have shared a stage with such talented singers - wow - really, this is an AMAZING city.

SO- I sang 2 songs: Breathe from In the Heights by Lin Manuel Miranda & 'In Short' but Pasek & Paul from the musical 'Edges' - so much fun- I just wanna keep working on both songs and getting deeper into the work and story. Both are a major challenge.
