Wicked

Thursday night I got to catch Wicked, the musical about the life of the wicked witch of the west (from Wizard of Oz fame) It was a great...friggin...play! I loved every minute of it. Whoever came up with this play has a great imagination cause it really changes the way I will forever view The Wizard of Oz. The music is addictive (I'm listening to the soundtrack right now to relive the moment), the story is top notch, acting was superb, and to make things better, I went in order to celebrate my brother's 25th birthday, and I surprised him with an upgrade of his tickets. Going from the Rear Mezz to Orchestra seating (he was pleasantly surprised and really did appreciate it)

Well, like I said, if you haven't caught this play, I really really really really really recommend it if you are into musicals, plays, or just anything fun cause this truly was an eye opener for me and I will be catching this play from time to time in my lifetime.

P.S. If you have seen this, please share your thoughts with me about this play as I would like to know how you all enjoyed it.

The Beginning

Well, just to update you all, I went on an audition today to become a back-up singer of a famous recording artist. I personally never heard of him before, but he's been in the business for a very long time. His name is Kenneth Banks. His style is basically old funk (if you hear the song "Jungle Boogy", he is the deep voice in the beginning of that) So he is coming out with another CD very soon and he is going to be going on performances and I might be going on the road with him as a backup singer. That is pretty big cause if any of you know me, I have never done anything big like this. I would just sit back, put together melodies and words, and just goof off. So for someone in the business to tell me that he likes me and believes I can become an asset to his company is a big deal. He also told us that basically we (I and the other backup singers) have a home with his company. He will help us along the way and he will also help us record our own albums and release them.

So yea, I'm pretty happy that I got the job, next weekend I am going to the studio to lay down some background tracks for him, and I'm getting paid $50 buckaroos! Woohoo!

I'll keep you all informed on what happens next. Thank you all for your support and your well wishes.
