Gifts are meant to be accepted :) Yes, it's something I would be proud of too, for sure. To end up on stage, you need a good voice that carries the audience along. You've done it in a remarkably short time, if I may say so. Considering that you certainly haven't given your energy to that alone for the last twenty years. Well, I may have a different sense of time ahem. LOL

When I hear "club" I get a little melancholy. I've been out of the culture for so long and I can't think of any good clubs here. I love life music and wonder why there's anything like that left on the streets elsewhere. Here in my city, it's not a given. I'd have to do better research, though, I think.
How nice of the club owner to allow you to work on your performance skills. That's like the veil to a bride (I know, not a good comparison).

Thanks for asking. The woman has been busy preparing to open a youtube channel - I've been dedicated to tailoring and videotaping the work etc. - there is so much to learn with this damn editing software.
