Plan to Sing at a cabaret night
Want to prepare 3 songs. Have actually started one.
Venue is low-key, mostly other singers and a hired accompanist at a dance studio very near here, monthly cafe/cabaret night. Must have bn Uiverse on my side to set this one up. Fell into my lap.
Want to write about my process toward this goal here.
Thanks for reading.
Edit.....
Whoops! I thought I was posting in Positive Transitions.
I hope I can just leave it here for now.

Re: Plan to Sing at a cabaret night
hey there,
this sounds brilliant. I know we talked some about your singing the other night, and I think it is great that you are announcing it here, kinda makes it harder to back out of when you have said it out loud in front of people. Someone said to me once that my art is the way I will heal, and I firmly believe that to be the truth. I think the same of you, your creativity, you art and especially your connection to music, that is what will heal your soul, and ultimately bring you closer to your mum too, I know you and her shared a love of music. What better way to honour both of you than to express yourself through music??
sending you much positivity and healing energy, we can move on with our creative journeys side by side if you like? give each other a gentle nudge when we slow down, and support each other to keep creating. We have been blessed with the ability to express ourselves in beautiful ways, we need to use that ability consciously and freely. We are some of the lucky ones.
Much sare and love,
Star xx

That's great, we were deprived of a voice in abuse so to be able to use yours so positively is super.
as i type just listening to favourite singer of mine - Linda Welby - folk - she also has 8 children and a day job!! Inspiring.

Re: Plan to Sing at a cabaret night
Hi There! Do it I'm so excited for you! I'm sure you'll do great. I wish I had the " hoo haa"s" to do something like that. I love singing but, I've been too scared to sing in public for years. I decided to seek help for my problems . I decided that this year will be the year of conquering fears. I think singing should be next on my list! Thank you. I'll think of you when I sing. ( out loud in front of real live people... rather than my pups) . ~Birdy

Re: Plan to Sing at a cabaret night
I failed.
I didn't go.
It got late after work, had to walk the dog, by the then, it was 9:30 and the event ws over at 10:30. I was semi-prepared, and felt ok about that, and I am so attached to my low self-esteem that I didnt make myself go
Ok, I have a cold, kinda,
and my mum just died,
and I felt like it would have been good for me to go,
and then I decided I'd stay in and go to bed 'early'.
I'm so used to being mad at myself and feeling like a big f'ing failure, that it's more 'me' than doing something that would actually be uplifting to myself.
SO now I can feel like usual, like I am a coward and don't want to succeed, and blah, blah, blah.
I want to add "I SUcK!!!!!'
Now, wasn't that easier than doing something challenging yet fun?

Re: Plan to Sing at a cabaret night
I think I just want to stay in and feel bad about my mother's death.
I wanted to not be positive, to not go forward, to not deal with anybody watching me sing, the scrutiny, having to make my own comfort zone to feel okay in the midst of singing for others. People ARE judging more than my singing, they are judging my face,
my clothes, my body.
I used to just be so able to 'just not care' while on stage or in public performance.
I'm so tired of feeling like I have to have problems to breathe. Is it the Social Security? Have to be ill to get the benefits and live below poverty level?
Yes, the wornout pity party hat still fits.
(ironic snicker)
ANd I must bow down to the inner critic, since it echoes all the jerks and detractors in the world.

Re: Plan to Sing at a cabaret night
So sorry to hear that.
Hey There... its the thought that counts. The fact that you were willing to give it a shot speaks volumes. I think you are brave. Feel free to have a pity party. This must be a tough time for you. Doesn't matter to me that you didn't sing! Keep writing music if you can find the time and energy to do so. I'm sending caring, supportive energy your way~ Birdy
