His Art
He walked out on stage. There it was! The flash of the spotlight as it hit him; the thunder of applause!
Oh my God...THE RUSH... Fear. Joy. Panic. Mind-blowing-exhilaration.
These were his people. This was his moment. No matter how many times he did this, he always poured every ounce of himself into this - his art. His gift to the world.
"Met her on a Monday, and my heart stood still.
Da-do-ron-ron-ron. Da-do-ron-ron."

That made me laugh -- I love how solemn it is up until the last line, when suddenly it's doo-wop.
ReplyDeleteNot that I don't like doo-wop. It's good stuff!
Cool. Yea. It's supposed to be funny. He's all serious and then he starts singing this ridiculous song!
DeleteDa do run run run ... hilarious! I wrote this on another blog, but there is nothing like the thunder of an audience, whether from within it or from afar ...
ReplyDeleteThanks! I tried to think of the dumbest song lyrics I knew. ;)
DeleteGreat minds think likewise! This is why I don't read the other entries until my own is done and posted. :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteI have the same policy for the same reason!
DeleteI always wait too!
DeleteI can only imagine how exhilarating being on stage can be. You captured that excitement very well.
ReplyDeleteWonder what it would be like to be a rock star? You rocked this one, though!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's really nice of you. :)
DeleteNicely done - Love the thunder of applause. Love his dedication.
ReplyDeleteLol. Thanks!
DeleteEnjoyed this post thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate it, Ruby!!
DeleteThat was a really fun read! I almost felt guilty to laugh at the guy, clearly pouring his heart & soul into his "gift to the world."
ReplyDeleteI know. I felt mean writing it. Lol!
DeleteHa! I haven't thought of that song in years! You could really feel his stage fright. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteThis is too funny. With the dramatic beginning, I wasn't quite expecting that song!
ReplyDeleteI was shooting for a huge disconnect. :)
DeleteYou really captured that moment of anticipation just before a performance well. We all feel our creations are important, don't we? Even the da do ron ron guy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up. We hope you'll be back for the weekend challenge.
Thanks Tri! ;)
Deletethat was fun, and now I have a song to play in my head all day!
ReplyDeleteLol! Oops-sorry!
DeleteThis was great. You captured the excitement!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mags!
DeleteFun little post! I thought it was going to be karaoke. :) Oh, and thanks for the earworm. :-p
ReplyDeleteLol! Glad you liked it. :)
DeleteGreat contrast between the serious sound of the entry, to the actual start of a fun, upbeat song.
ReplyDeleteI was just listening to this song this morning! Great entry!
ReplyDeleteIs he, by any chance singing Karaoke? I too, enjoyed the contrast!
