The Jury Is Out...

...and I appear to have bombed.

I tried something different at ConChord for my concert. Instead of futzing with my guitar, I tried using the synth for all my numbers and using props and dancing around.

I thought it worked.

If the con reports of ConChord are any indication, it didn't.

In Debbie Ridpath Ohi's Blatherings I'm only mentioned by name (you know the bit: "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything") and in David Okamura's ConChord report on rec.music.filk I'm notably not mentioned at all (same thing).

Okay folks -- from those of you who saw it or heard about it, what am I doing that sucks so bad? Please! I can't improve my act if I don't get feedback!

I actually did practice. The "gotcha" was I had a really bad cold and it totally f***ed up my range and accuracy. I was afraid I'd start hocking loogies on stage.

Re: the MIDIs and pacing, that's the kind of feedback I need. I'm not sure whether it's "too much at once" or whether I need to cut some of the poems down a bit -- or both. Anything more specific would be appreciated.

Huh. You couldn't tell you were flaring out the top of your range on that one song?
