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.

    Not 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!

    Da 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 ...

    Great minds think likewise! This is why I don't read the other entries until my own is done and posted. :) Love it!

    That 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."

    Ha! I haven't thought of that song in years! You could really feel his stage fright. Nicely done.

    This is too funny. With the dramatic beginning, I wasn't quite expecting that song!

    You 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.
    Thanks for linking up. We hope you'll be back for the weekend challenge.

    Great contrast between the serious sound of the entry, to the actual start of a fun, upbeat song.
