The Walk, Mayer Hawthorne cover

Recently, I had the privilege of performing with a host of talents in an online Quarantined Cabaret Live show October 16, 2020. It reminded me how much I miss live performance. I have the yearn for cheers and applause of immediate affirmation and the boost of assurance it gives. I miss seeing strangers turn around to check who is on stage performing, sometimes being able to captivate them, or even grab the attention of the entire room. Hell, I even miss seeing strangers take the "opt out" and turn their back on me while on stage even. When on stage, I am there for myself more than anyone else. It gives the opportunity to express myself in ways unlike any other. The stage also provides the platform to be seen, to make a connection, to be felt. I like that. It just takes one chance encounter for life to change. It just takes one song to connect, perhaps even just one note, a vibration.  If I don't capture your attention, that's fine too. I am not every one's cup of tea. You may have your opinion I am not asking for critiques. :) Believe me, I am my own harshest critic. It took me a long time to appreciate my voice. I don't even like listening to it much these now.  I used to flat out HATE listening to myself, but now I am at the point where I am growing in that appreciation again of the connection singing allows to myself. In this manner, when I am singing I allow myself to become more who I am, I get to play, I get to grow. 

I hope you enjoy.
