The last week has been really encouraging. There has been beautiful weather, and really good audiences, and even good CD sales. There have been llamas and kisses and kindness and art. All in all, a fantastic week. A week that makes me think (hope) that pretty soon, maybe we won’t merely be surviving, but we’ll be REALLY “Living the Dream” – and maybe even getting to be that little extra bit of proactive in the world. Who knows.
Sigh.
Friday night we played one of Joe Isaacs’ “Songs that Matter” showcases. We shared the stage with Might Could and Joe Isaacs himself, and just generally made a nuisance of ourselves by having a fantastic time.
We convinced Amy Law to join us on stage for “In the Water”, and Sharif managed to make it out to make it a true ilyAIMY trio experience. We filled College Perk with all kinds of goodness, and I just felt so awesome about how the night went down.
Recently, I’ve felt that I’ve lost my grip on the audience. There have been a whole lot of contributing factors to that – but it all centres around confidence. And when you lose your confidence, you do poorly, and when you do poorly, you lose your confidence. It’s pretty damned cyclical.
