EvaMoon Ember takes the stage right after I finish my show.I kept some very positive energy flowing for most of the day today, in sharp contrast to recent times dealing with illness, work pressure and all that stuff that tends to take away from the ideal mindset for music performance. But the winds of change seem to be blowing in, and it couldn't happen at a better time. Today, for example, saw me playing at Relay for Life's Clothing Fair, and it was a pretty great gig.
First of all, donating my time to support the fight against cancer? I mean, I have to get major karma points for that. That just has to be good, right? Second, I am finally feeling almost back to my usual healthy self after a few days of being pretty ill, and therefore sorry for myself and mopey and all that. So, getting closer to my normal mode put me in a good mood, and gave me more energy than I've had for some time. So I took that vibe to the show with me.
Had a decent mid-sized crowd, and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. I followed my current trend of sticking mostly to originals, and it went well. In fact...
Here's the set list...
