This is a rendering of one of my favorite numbers by one of my favorite artists, Sebastian Kadlecik. I did this number last night to close my evening of hosting at Peepshow Menagerie. I love this number because it incorporates a number of lessons learned from many teachers. It's a Foo Fighters song I absolutely love, and it's the only number I have where I get to wear a hoodie.
Last night something happened. My music was skipping. I knew the cd worked because I practiced to it in my living room before the show. I later found out a second cd player was on a the time and it was trying to mix or something. Anyway, my song kept skipping. I didn't freak out. What ran through my head was "If the music stops and I keep going, what happens if the music starts up again and I then have two minutes of music but no clothing left?" So I played with it. I tried milking it and making the audience laugh about it because it was pretty hilarious. If I didn't know the song so well it might have been a real problem.
I think it worked. People seemed to enjoy it, and the last third of the song didn't skip after the sound guy spotted the problem.
