Back (again)

Hmm.

Weel it was my day back at work, and much to my surprise (and endless wonder as to how many people actually asked) alot of people coworkers and pub patrons alike asked me what happened to me which caused my absence from work last week.

Not that I'm complaining, but I find the spread of info (which so happens to be rather rapid) a bit startling.. but anyway. Work was pretty good yesterday, not too crowded, but not too boring either... a perfect balance of highs and lows (wait.. now I'm starting to sound like some milk commercial).

In any case, I finished off my shift at 11pm as usual, and initially I didn't want to do a set because I had them bloody ulcers in my throat (on the path to recovery, but still irksome when my throat becomes somewhat dry), but what the hey.. I just did it.

So i sang a couple of songs... 'Hide Your Love Away' (the Beatles), 'Wild Horses' (the Rolling Stones), 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' (John Denver) and 'Hey Jude' (the Beatles)... and the thing is, during my shift, Gerry decided to do a little yelp in the middle of a song, which I pointed out to him, was something he needed to work on (muahaha... because at the end of 'Hey Jude' I did my trademark scream which caused one guy to actually laugh out loud in wonder and applaude).

I think I'm actually getting more wild onstage with each passing friday... but as long as Gerry doesn't mind and since the big boss actually said 'Good Job' to me last night after i did my set I suppose I can take some liberties (such as screaming my heart out and doing little hops around the microphone).

Oh yeah.. just wondering what songs would be nice for the SDN Club's Talent Time opening. I had thought of some songs:

1. 'School Of Rock' by the School Of Rock (remember jack black in the schoolboy outfit and clutching his SG? yeah.. that song)

2. 'Rock And Roll' by Led Zeppelin (nice opener because it packs a hugantic whallop)

3. 'Rock And Roll Singer' by AC/DC (I mean.. it's mainly a singing competition.. and I like rock music.. so there)

4. 'Sing' by Travis (introduced to me by John (DMD 3rd year)... hmm would be nice because it has a banjo in it *wink to alvin*)

5. 'All Along The Watchtower' by Bob Dylan (but planning to do the Jimi Hendrix version because the guitar solo is ABSOLUTELY WACKO.. and I can do it.. no prob)

I dunno.. I need to ask Alvin whether he thinks these few songs are ok to put into consideration.
