Kinda a funny story. I went to the Manchester Pub a few weeks ago where a friend of mine runs an open mike on Sundays. As luck would have it, when I arrived he was standing outside. Lucky cause he said from the look on my face he thought I was going to 'bolt' due to all the bikes and bikers.
Don't get me wrong now, as heck I ride a bike and have the leathers *and* the t-shirt. I guess I was just feeling outta place as I was actually dressed quite nicely, *in a dress*.
Another friend had mentioned this gig as, You remember the Blues Brothers movie and the chickenwire around the stage? I laughed at the time and didn't think too much more about it until I arrived and realized he wasn't kidding! So, there I am, dress, makeup, heels, hair done up nice. Oh dear...
Anyway, I helped my friend, or he helped me by letting me play along with him for the first few songs or so. That really helped steady the nerves. Then I played a few and brought the house down and got myself booked in for these two weeks with the intent, if all goes well, to have me play regularly twice a month *and* when the weather starts getting nicer, the very strong possibility of playing every weekend. Nice!
And of course, as should be no surprise, everybody was friendly, supportive, down to earth, Here have my shirt off my back, good folks.
It was just that initial 'Uh oh' moment that got me going. Just goes to show you can't tell just by looking.
I'm also going to do the Poulsbo Farmers Market again this summer. I'm not sure if it's my third or fourth time doing the market, but it's one of my favorites for local gigs.
Saturdays, May 28th and August 20th.
10-12pm.
The Poulsbo Farmers Market is located in the parking lot of the Poulsbo Village Medical/Dental Center, at the corner of NE Iverson Street and 7th Avenue NE in Poulsbo, Washington.
And that's the latest haps and life is good.
Best Regards,
Kimberly
