Rebecca Dru's SALON # 5 & 6

Salon #2 a success

Last night was Salon #2. It was small, intimate and a lot of fun. I did 9 new songs...plus 4 songs from the previous Salon and this time had a PA set up so you could actually hear the vocals over my Yamaha C-3. Lots of food!...LOTS OF FOOD....plus...I thought the neighbors were going to think we were having an orgy because of the sounds released from eating Jami's desserts...and the fights to get another piece.

The next one will be sometime in February...have to start writing again. If you're interested in coming...let me know.

In the interim...hopefully, Ricardo will help get my studio set up so we can start recording these and putting them out on the internet.

Have fun!

I'M BACK....

I'm back....after a 10 year hiatus. I'm writing songs again (as opposed to instrumentals) and I'm even thinking about singing live again....how I used to love getting up on stage...I lived for it. Now, my nerves are getting the best of me. I know all the components that go into performing...the do's and don'ts...how to grab my audience...but it's been so long..I could get up on that stage and open my mouth and nothing comes out (I remember that occurring the first time I got up on stage) ....my vibrato, uncontrollable...my nerves shot to hell; It's like starting all over again. I also want to build up a new repertoire. My songs from the 70's need a dance band..and my 80's songs still get requests after all these years.... and I do love the songs in Italian I did in the 90's....but I need something new. I just want to sit at a piano and play....simply for the love of it.
