Two awesome things
May 16th, 2007 by Luke
1) I was featured yesterday on the Roman Games Diary. Hot hot heat kids. Check it out:
2) I played an open mic tonight at Bar 4 in Park Slope (Brooklyn for those of you who don’t know New York). Anyway, I killed. Alright, so it went well. Ok, so my sustain pedal broke/shorted out (I was on my keyboard), and I was forced to play the whole two songs with no sustain at all. Anyway, the response was very good. About an hour and half later, as I was leaving, I was waiting for the bartender to bring me my tab and there was this older black lady sitting at the bar. She hadn’t come with anyone (I saw her come in a few hours before), and she didn’t really mingle either. She just sat at the bar and took in the open mic. Anyway:
The Lady (quietly): Are you the boy who was playin’ the piano?
Me: Yeah. That was me.
The Lady (matter-of-factedly): Immense talent.
Then she turned toward the bar and that was that. Oddly enough, it was one of the coolest compliments I have gotten…ever.
The album will hopefully be finished this July…just to throw in an update.
