Life is a Cabaret

In my procrastination for finishing my solo piece - When You Hit Your Funny Bone - I decided that I want to throw a cabaret together. I have always wanted to do one, so today I met with musical director Kelly Park and we chatted for a bit and sang a bit and laughed a lot. So I am putting together a list of songs that I either like to sing or have sung in the past. However, I requested my Facebook friends to suggest some tunes and they are all good, but don't fit together in any way. So, I am adding them to the list to see what sticks. I am very excited.

I really do need to keep moving on Funny Bone and in fact I almost got a chance for perform 10 minutes of it this evening. The Marsh in SF does 10 Minute Mondays for works in progress. And while my proposal was not accepted, I got an email today that someone was ill and they needed someone to fill in tonight! So, I thought what the hell. If I needed a kick in the pants, here we go. Patti responded that they found someone, but at least it got me thinking about it. So, here we are at the end of 2010. I vow that I will have performed BOTH the cabaret AND When You Hit Your Funny Bone in 2011.

No really. It will happen.

I cannot say the same for my daily flossing or drinking water, but the two shows will happen.
