I had a couple of performances that came to mind. I suppose it depends on how big the live performance needed to be. There was one that had a well-known artist and one that had a local favorite, and I am glad to share about both of them.
One performance was part of the Tri-C Jazz Fest sponsored by Cuyahoga Community College and featured a great jazz artist named Gerald Albright. The show also featured Norman Brown, but he was sick and not able to perform. But Gerald Albright came on and played, told some great stories, one was about his grandson who once did a funny dance when he ate and tasted something he really enjoyed, and called it the G-wiggle. The next night featured a jazz legend named Herbie Hancock. He had a good set of music, brought out some interesting effects that were showcased in other music performed with other artists, and he played about three different versions of his most popular hit from his Head Hunters album.
Another performance that I saw live was at a union hall with Forecast. The band had a great blend of music for both sets and the atmosphere was a bit more relaxed and casual. I enjoyed the experience of hearing great music and having a great time meeting with friends, even some that I had not seen in years.
I find that it’s great to witness performances by various musical artists and even actors, and some may prefer studio work to touring while others prefer the reverse. Seeing artists perform, witnessing their passion and how they enjoy doing what they do is inspiring to me. So my pursuit of work that I can be passionate about will continue, and I intend to learn and practice as much as I can and take steps to do what interests me most, and continue until I find something that becomes profitable.
