Day 29 - So Many Lyrics, So Little Time...

Well, I have been reading aloud through the lyrics that I need to learn everyday because I have a ton of songs that I need to commit to memory in such a short period of time. I think this is my biggest worry... How to learn lyrics flawlessly in the shortest amount of time possible, so that I can focus on polishing what i would like to do with my act and not trying to think of what words come next.

What I have discovered is that i know some songs a LOT better than others.... I think what I need to do is take each song and rate it on a scale from 1-5 on how well i know the song. The songs I know the best, I will only go over once a day. The songs I know the least, i will go over at least 5 times in a day until i get them polished.

Once I print out my lyrics for the newly selected music tonite, I am going to read through them and rate them and see what happens.

IF ANY OF YOU READING had to learn a large number of songs in a short while, what did YOU do?

You see, my issue is that I half-assed know thousands of songs because of my slightly unhealthy Karaoke addiction. I am so used to having the words to every song on a screen for me, that it has become a handicap for me almost. Except I actually have learned a lot of songs simply by osmosis of having them at karaoke all the time.

BUT WE AREN'T PLAYING SONGS YOU HEAR ALL THE TIME!!! HA HA!

That is what i really love about this band... Hit 80's songs that are off the beaten path from what other bands in Regina play, yet are still cool enough to dance, sing along and have fun to.

My other task this evening is to advertise this band to as many people as possible. I have facebooked around 560 people about this band and so we shall see the results on that shortly.

OH YA.... So I watched this Rockumentary last night that my buddy Mason in Calgary sent me... It was the Red Hot Chili Peppers Funky Monks rockumentary.... It documents them recording Blood Sugar Sex Magic.... This happens to be one of my favorite albums of all time, I couldn't believe how cool it was to see the creative process behind that. I also didn't realize that they recorded songs like Soul To Squeeze at that same time... VERY COOL! I was very inspired by watching that.... THANK YOU MASON! I look forward to seeing what other Rock Shows/Rockumentaries people can hook me up with throughout this month!

See you soon!
