Becoming Better (Day 9): Doing My Part

9 days ago, The Hopeless Romantics confirmed the date for our first show of the year. Friday, March 9 we will be celebrating my birthday at Ashford and Simpson’s Sugar Bar at 8PM. I meant to include you guys in the process of getting ready, but the first few steps were so time consuming that I couldn’t find time to blog. But here we are, 3 weeks away. I’ve made made demos of each song, confirmed the musicians and venue, made flyers, and begun promoting. They’re reviewing/learning the tunes, and now it’s time to do my part—to do more than lead the band, look cute, and call the shots, but become better by March 9.

There they are, all nine of them. In times past, I’d assumed that I knew how to sing what I’d written; I’ve grown since then. So today I begin studying my songs—at least the ones I plan I to sing at my birthday show. As I look over these pages, I can’t help but get a little nervous. I have a new story to tell, these are it’s chapters. For some odd reason, they intimidate me. And my daddy always taught me to let no one intimidate me; so, I guess these songs and I are gonna’ have to wrestle for the next 3 weeks, so that—at my birthday show—I can sing them as someone who has mastered them. I guess writing them wasn’t enough.
