Waking Up and Still and Again

While staying on the Thai island Koh Samui I got to sing onstage, only a cover, but a first for me. It was Creep, something the band knew and I was comfortable with. From the small audience there was actually not insincere applause. I am now in Egypt. Hoping these travel posts are not the usual dull rundown of, "and then I, and then we, and next..." because my eye always skitters right over those to the pictures. The one below of the sphynx is blurry--sorry--perhaps you might imagine a sandblown and witheringly long trek with no shade after which all appears fuzzy and unreal.

B Goei commented at 4/20/2005~: ooh. egypt looks great. so yellow. you'd think i'd see more of the desert living in l.a., but not so much.

i sang 'creep' onstage once. it used to be part of our cover set. i always had trouble on the screaming falsetto climax and my drummer would only prolong my pain by slowing it down or adding a couple of extra beats for what he called "dramatic effect". yeah, sure...
lux commented at 4/21/2005~: That is the hardest part of the song. This time I somehow did okay with it (usually I sing only karaoke).

When the airplane was approaching Cairo Egypt was the color of papyrus.
