Oh man, I had such fun at the Algonquin Salon on the 11th. The theme was "Drop that Name," meaning any song that had someone's name in the title, or mentioned. I chose a character that sometimes has a name ("Nimue") but often does not ("The Lady of the Lake") and sang the song "Diva's Lament (Whatever Happened to My Part?)," a DIVA song if there EVER was one from the Monty Python musical "Spamalot." If there was a role written for me, this is it!
As is the nature of the Algonquin Salon, music does not have to be memorized - so I brought up the lyrics on my iPhone and "scrolled" along as I sang. It was so much fun...Mark Janas was absolutely brilliant on the piano, and the crowd had fun as well.
Moved from Los Angeles to New York (originally from Oakland), so I'm your basic Californian daughter-of-hippies, agnostic yet spiritual, half-Austrian/Russian/Jewish, half Portuguese, sci-fi/musical theater geek.
