This Friday and next Friday I have opportunities to play some of my music, and haven't had that chance for a while. Tonight I played a Buskers Festival (street musician fest), to benefit Family Services the counseling agency that my husband works for. It was a good time where I saw some old friends from Warren PA, where I used to work, and received some very kind comments from the folks who listened to part of my set at 5:30 to 6:30. One lady even said my voice reminded her of Lisa Loeb - and she is her favorite. I suppose you can't get a better comment than that. One man, who I hadn't seen in years, now runs a local music production company and asked if I'd like to come and perform at one of their upcoming events. One other gentleman was listening to my ballad, "I need to know your here." and shouted at the end..." I'm here for you Tara!" What makes this really funny is he is one of the counselors at Family Services. Nice to know his empathy...
Life is tough, but hope is tougher.
