Meeting Musicians

The Not-so-Good: Played for a grand total of eight people tonight at Club 2nd Floor.

The Good: The guys from Short Notice are awesome. I thought the show would be a little weird since the bill consisted of little ol' acoustic me and a hard rock band--and it was, but for different reasons. Yes, Short Notice was about 100 times as loud as I was, but we all appreciated each others' music (random background, their bassist is a jazz musician and their guitarist listens to John Denver and smooth jazz, among other things). Tonight's improvised song was quite amusing; after using all the solicted words, I started singing about Ryan, their guitarist: investment advisor by day, rockstar by night. Which brought about the comment, "Never tell a singer-songwriter your day job." Followed by, "And if you date a singer-songwriter, you either need to marry them or realize that many songs will be written about you. Remember that episode of Boy Meets World?" Their singer's description of my music was hilarious as well: "She's like Jewel, but good."
