Dear List,
Last weekend, I have made my performance debut. I have sung in public before, but that was mainly 'spielerei', so not very serious and never all on my own. Last saturday, my best friend got married. I sang at the church, no less! I was sooooooooo nervous! I was shaking all over, mixed up some words, but nobody noticed anything!
There were about 100-125 people in that church, a lot of them I knew, but most were strangers to me. The song I sang was vocally not very demanding, but considering the fact that both the bride and groom have lost a parent and have a special place in their hearts for this song because of that, made it really difficult! (The song was 'papa, can you hear me' from 'Yentl')
The best part was afterwards, at the reception and party, I think every single person who was in that church came to me and complimented me on my singing. They thought I was a professional and most of them cried when I sang. (Because of emotions, I hope! ;) ) The groom was only able to hug me, he too couldn't stop crying...
WOW! Now I DEFINATELY know that this is what I want!! This has made such an impact on me, I will NEVER forget it!
Just wanted to share this with you.....
Nande (who still can't stop thinking about it....)
