ME AND EDYE OUTSIDE MTS AFTER

AFTER THAT, I CHANGED AND WENT TO SEE A VOCAL PERFORMANCE THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

LIVE PERFORMANCE

i HAD HEARD ABOUT A JAZZ SINGER WHO WAS GOING TO BE SINGING AT MYKINOS IN THE PAPER SO I WENT TO CHECK IT OUT. IT WAS A TRIO : DIANNA HUGHES SINGING, SID FENDLEY ON PIANO, AND KEN BATTAT ON DRUMS. I LOVED IT!!! THE MUSIC WAS BEAUTIFUL, IT WAS SO RICH AND LOUD. SHE SANG SOME JAZZ STUFF BUT SHE ALSO SANG SOME OF MY FAVORITE SONGS LIKE, MASQUERADE-MADE FAMOUS BY ONE OF MY SINGING IDOLS MISS KAREN CARPENTER, AND SWAY. SHE ALSO DID SOME REALLY GREAT SONGS THAT HAD A GREAT SAMBA BEAT. I REALLY LOVED HER VOICE. SHE WAS SUCH A NATURAL. SHE SANG IN BEAUTIFUL STRAIGHT TONES, WHICH I WORK ON ALOT!!! THEY WERE ALSO REALLY NICE, ONONE OF THEIR BREAKS THEY AGREED TO TAKE A PIC WITH ME. THIS INSPIRED ME BECAUSE OF HOW SHE WAS A GREAT VOCALLIST, BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE OF HOW SHE WAS SO NATURAL AND JUST HAD TOTAL CONFIDENCE, WHICH I WANT TO WORK AT AND GET BETTER.

HERE WE ARE

WHILE LISTENING I HAD SOME REALLY YUMMY GREEK FOOD

HEALTHY MEAL # 26

MUSAKA-AN EGGPLANT AND SQUASH DISH WITH GREEN BEANS ON THE SIDE

RATING - REALLY HEALTHY, FRESH, AND YUMMY!!!

THEN FINALLY I CAME HOME AND GOT SOME VOCAL WORK IN
DAILY PRACTICE LOG:

TECHNICAL CONCEPTS: Chest voice work, yogi bear-gu gu gu, straight tone scales-inspired by that performance.
minutes: 15

REPERTOIRE: "I caint say no" and "The finer things" Im really trying to get these good and ready for tomorrow.

MINUTES: 40

SUCCESS: I was finally able to work on really putting alot of character into both of these pieces.

areas to improve: "the finer things" is really technically difficult so just hitting all the right notes is a constantr struggle.

NOTES: IM EXCITED TO SING THESE TOMORROW.

OK THATS IT FOR TODAY, I HOPE I SEE SOME OF YOU TOMORROW!!!
