Genie has Character.
. Last week-end I was invited to perform a couple of songs at a charity cabaret evening.I was on in the 2nd half, latish, the OTHill glamerous trouper with her sequins, smile, and split skirt to her navel, on her Uke?banjo opened and was down to finish the show.
The evening inc line-dancers and Irish steppers, a comedian and a 13 year-old singing to a karaoke set-up.
I was to follow her and I was going accoustic. The trouble was, she was very good sounding and attractive.She bought the house down.I suggested to the M.C. she do another, so she bought the house down again.As she passed me to get off I called her a few names, in a nice way then got on with my contribution .
The first no. appealed to the family and they all went wa wa wa waltzing with bears then my 2nd no used bodily actions with waving arms and legs. The younger sister of the karaoke star was so enthusiastically brilliant that I dragged her up mid -song without a pause where she duly up-staged her older sister.I had survived,and it closed the show.
I may hear from that young performer again as she made copious notes of names of singers that I suggested she might care to listen to and invited her to come and perform at our folk club.I was also interested in her technical set-up. If I do I'll get back to you and you can ask her .
I can read the bold type easier.
