lovely surprises
i am at EP's playing right now on a last minute request. i typically play on thursdays, but my friend Steveanne is out of town tonight. turns out, the normal band, Gary Goin and G3, is also out of town. G3 is great - they really keep the crowd going.
but tonight, whoever this band is has a distinctly soul-funk leaning, as opposed to a more pop bent. this puts a little more pressure on me as the deejay to satisfy the people, but there is a house full so that won't be a problem. (an empty room is a problem - give me a room of people and i will find a way to make them move.) but it also is way more up my personal music alley. jill scott, chaka, etc. bring it!
and my point, the reason i am writing, is that a female vocalist just came on - Big Baby - and she is killing it. chills all over, i have. i love that. makes me very happy. i hope to make some people feel like that when i sing.
