I HAVE A GIG!

Tonight I have my first Finnish gig! In fact, my first European gig! I'm very excited.
I'm only singing a few songs for Karri's wife's birthday party, but I get to sing! With a microphone! In front of people! Without words on a tv screen in front of me! YAY!!!
I haven't had a gig since our last Hardliner one in May! That's way too long between performances.
I'm a bit nervous actually because Karri is quite an established electronic musician and I hope I can do his music justice. It's very different from stuff I'm used to singing. It's going to be almost entirely improvised... I have some ideas, a few lyrics to work with, but they are long songs without a lot of harmonic development (read: it's electronic music... nothing really happens for 6 minutes) and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to come up with enough stuff... or else I'll sing too much! Maybe I'll just have a couple of drinks and just see what happens...
We are doing a couple of covers, one is a song I've been wanting to cover for a long time. Francis and I tried to once, but never got around to it... but tonight, after over 10 years of singing it in the shower, I get to perform
Tiffany's "I think We're Alone Now"!
I've got to say again... I'm excited!

You'll never do justice to Tiffany! Good luck. "Making her long awaited European debut, fresh from Japan, the electronic answer to Kylie, Miss Nina L"...
