I really don't have very much to write about. Most concerts, for me, happen in the summer, as I'm free for a little over a month in early July to mid-August. After that I am only able to go to concerts that happen on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesdays. I can do a Sunday night, as long as it's not too far away. And most shows seem to happen on the weekend.
I haven't seen anyone since the Rascals. I am going to see John Cleese (from Monty Python) later this month, and I'll let you know how that went. That's the only thing on the agenda right now.
In "Last Chance Romance" everything is going along very well. I'm getting lots of positive feedback about my music and sound effects, and the producer and director didn't change a thing from how I originally set it up. It happens, but it's rare that, especially the producer at our theatre, doesn't have a few suggestions for me, and I'll usually go along with it (he's the boss) unless it's a stupid idea (which it sometimes is). I swear, he comes up with songs that have absolutely nothing to do with anything, except that he heard it on the radio this morning and, wouldn't it be great in a show?
I wound up using the restaurant background sounds and the birds in the park scene after all. I mean, once the scene begins I don't really have a lot to do until the next scene change so, why not?
In other news, Nikki Yanofsky announced her new album (Little Secrets) will be released this week. Considering it's been three years since her last album, I am quite anxious to hear it. The single was released this week, in Canada, on iTunes, at a special price of $0.69 so I bought it and have listened to it a few times. The song is called Something New, and it really rocks! Jazz-influenced, certainly, but rock and roll. Anyway, maybe I'll write a review after I've listened to it a few times. Be on the edge of your seat for that!
