Last night was Elaine's first gig... it was a bit of a let down because of the following reasons...
First is because i didn't have enough time to give her pointers on what to do and expect once we got on stage... the reason was because we were all caught off-guard when the band before us ended their set abruptly... i was expecting them to play at least 30 minutes but i guess they did only about 10 or 15 minutes the most... This was because all the bands came in late save of a band or two including us... because of this, each band were given 3 songs each to play which in turn forced me to choose only 3 of the 5 songs we had in store... which points us to the second reason why her first gig was a bit of a let down...
i guess if we were allowed 5 songs then Elaine would've had enough time to warm up and be settled down by the 3rd song... i was hoping to play "Light A Candle" first since she was so comfortable with it but instead we had to go with "Flaming Walls"... she's been having problems with this one specially during the loud portions... This was supposed to be the 3rd song after "All Smiles" (another song which we didn't play)... We did "Felt So Fine" next which i later realized was a very wrong choice (Sorry Elaine...) She was obviously at a lost since this was a bit louder than the first song... although by the middle part of "Felt So Fine" i noticed the she was singing properly already... The last song we did was "Pretend That We're Smart"... By this time she was already comfortable but she kinda lost wind a bit for her voice level wasn't the same as the first 2 songs...
The third and last reason for the let down was Dennis... He took about 15 minutes to set-up his stuff and this caused me to lose focus a bit and be very conscious to a point were i forgot to give Elaine a last minute pep talk and tell her to move as she pleases... If i had a shotgun i would've shot his brand new Gadget to smithereens...
Looking back at it all, i could say that it was just a minor setback... and it was still fun... i was really exited about this gig... I wish the we could've played first and did all 5 songs as planned but...
Ang popogi pa naman namin kagabi... Thanks Elaine for sharing your good looks with us... hehehe...
Anyways, there's always a next time... For sure that next time would be far better that this one...
