It seem that at my show " my preformance is only half hearted ", all these years that I've said and some of have said " I give everything" has just been a Lie. That's right a lie. I'm starting Sat. with another" half hearted tour" where I don't care about my fans. MY SET LIST DOES NOT CHANGE ENOUGH and "that sucks" which means I "don't care about my fans" oh God here I am writting this post when I should be out learning new songs and working on my show... so just shoot me in the head ,I should be out working on my show.
You see there is an artist who does 4 shows in a month and he changes the order evernight and plays 3 or 4 didfferent songs a night. and he will do 23 to 25 songs a night. show runs 3:30 hours and I admit I am a fan and went to a couple of shows, the key here is 4 or 5 shows a month, I do 16 to 18 a month if I did 4 or 5 a month I would be perfect everynight and could do 22 to 25 songs. Lets take this tour, where at one point I'm doing 7 shows in ten days, do you know how scared I am
. That's funny, I wouldn't be if I didn't care and my thoughts were only half hearted. People here can write they don't like the album... I might write them to back and say take another listen, they argue with me here because Bat II was not all that great to me.if you didn't like a show that's fine, write and say his voice sucked last night, well it probally did.. you want to here perfect vocals go to 85% of the concerts where they are on tape.
The artist we have been talking about is more of a grass roots artist and I own all his CD's so I ilike him. I am from Theater , shows on the westend and broadway I believe they play the same songs every nite? Don't They? Any way my show is about transitions getting form one emotional place to another, it's emotionally driv'in, it's about what's happening on stage and no where else.
I came from the Theater this is how I think, did not come from the bar world,but the bottom line is that.... all I care about is the show... it's all I think about 24 hours a day most days. I study my craft and how to improve it... changing songs does not improve it for me( it moves If it can help the play) there thats I how I look at my show, as a play!!! in fact this last summer I came off the stage in tears about 7 times because I thought I let the fans down. not because I didn't change the set. For it to be said that mY performance is half hearted and I don't care about my fans because my set list doesn't changeis BS.
I don't think changing the set makes it a better show or does it mean if I do change that I love my Fans more, I go on that stage every night I give everything I have to give" I promise" I have nothing more, nothing let to give you when that show is over. THis Half hearted thing is someone misconception of what a show should be, they have been great shows on the Westend, arwards won, money made, people leaving happy, in some cases for as long as 10 years 8 shows a week, and they haven't changed there set list yet.; Don't put me down because I don't do what other artist do, just go see them and enjoy what they give you, if you chose to come to my show try and enjoy what that is. what I give you ,not pissed off because your not getting something else. I try to be happy with what I have not what I don't have. What makes the world go round some people like red some blue so if you like red don't tell the blue your pissed off and his work must be Half hearted because he doesn't like red.

Love you all
