I'm Sorry Sam!

So I attended a Benjamin Keith gig at the Purple Crab last Thursday night. If you haven't heard of him, please check out www.benjaminkeithmusic.com (you'll be glad you did). Well, besides being my local guitar god, this man is also my guitar teacher. Who decided that since I love Sam Roberts so much, I should come up and sing 'Brother Down' with him. Anyone who knows me, knows that I play instruments, love music, but couldn't sing to save my life (Yvonne got all of those talent genes). But the crowd was VERY forgiving (they even clapped when it was over- I think in relief, but I'll take what I can get).

Man, is the spotlight ever addictive...I can suddenly realize why people want to be famous. I always thought that I just wanted to be rich (famous is for suckers-no privacy) but it feels good to be the center of attention. Looks like I need to learn some songs in my vocal range. Uh-oh, Ben created a monster :)

In other news, if you are looking to laugh out loud, wander over to www.popblender.com It's good stuff.
