i may be playing at a club in downtown seattle later this week ...
these people heard about me through someone involved
in the intiman theatre, and they emailed me wondering if i'd be interested.
i told them i'd get back to them, for i need to see what i can come up with
and how comfortable i'd be with it ...
and since i'm very shy about just singing my own work at random,
i'm going to do a bunch of covers ...

soo, i'm thinking about singing and playing guitar on the following:

somewhere -- west side story
pirate jenny -- the threepenny opera
memory -- cats
daffodil lament -- the cranberries
california dreamin' -- the mamas and the papas
someone's calling -- modern enlglish
landslide -- fleetwood mac
you light up my life -- debbie boone
midnight radio -- hedwig and the angry inch
london calling -- the clash
hurt -- nine inch nails' rendition
superheroes -- the rocky horror show
love of the loveless -- eels
i'm sensitive -- jewel
adrian -- jewel
the flesh failures / let the sunshine in -- hair
your eyes -- rent
one song glory -- rent
don't cry for me, barbara sterisand -- forbidden broadway
pictures of you -- the cure
imagine -- john lennon

as well as one ((wo))man renditions of:

the trial -- the wall
at the end of the day -- les miserables
do you love me? -- fiddler on the roof


and i may pull out the cello and play:

rememberences -- schindler's list



so, PLEASE help me out here!! it would be greatly appreciated:

if i could only perform six of those, which ones would you want to hear?

i'll give you a treat if you help me.

oh, yes...

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY, WHITNEY!!!!!!!
IF YOU WERE HERE, WE'D GET TOGETHER AND RUN AROUND IN ALL OUR "GOTHIC" GLORY!!!


I miss you a ton ... and I <3 you.

I wish I could help, but sadly I only recognize a few songs:

somewhere -- west side story
memory -- cats
california dreamin' -- the mamas and the papas
landslide -- fleetwood mac
you light up my life -- debbie boone
imagine -- john lennon
at the end of the day -- les miserables
do you love me? -- fiddler on the roof

And while that's eight songs, they're the only ones I know. The only advice I can give is to go with your gut, go with the ones that feel the best when you sing them. And if they all feel the best when you sing them, then I really don't know what to say, except: break a leg! No matter what you choose to sing, you'll do well. *hugs* ♥
I almost think Landslide and Somewhere are shoe in's ...
But I don't know yet ...

-hug-

gracias, my dear.

<3 to you.
Do whatever moves you. ♥ *muah*
<3

Maybe Wonder Boy?

i forgot to list that ... and i kind of want to sing that.

how about the power ... ... to move you


that part always gets to me.
i have yet to really master the guitar part on that song, though.
it would take a few days to get down perfectly.
