Last Sunday I had agreed to sign a song for the Leather Pride event. It turned out to be an epic fail :(
I'm trying to get to a place where "It's O.K."!
I was very worried that I couldn't depend on remembering the lyrics of that song, but my printer was broken so I couldn't put the lyrics (should've just gone to Kinko's) so I copied the sheet music and took the 7 pages with me.
I got there and it was outdoors and an uncovered stage, just a raised platform. When I got there the entertainment director told me I was on first (lovely!).
There were no stairs or railing to get on stage just a cinder block. Just as I stepped onstage it started raining. I don't have good control of either of my hands, but my left hand is better than my right, so I thought I could hold the sheets in my left and peel them off and drop them as I sang with my right.
Except they had no mic stand so I had to hold the mic in one hand. The sheets were partially wet by the time I started singing. I think after about the second verse a gust of wind came along and blew a few of the remaining sheets right out of my hand. It was pretty much over by that point. :D
Anyway, I dug these two old Beach Boys 45's out and this was another great Beach Boys songs from the later years.
