Here are most of my photos from yesterday, together again for the first time:
Five years ago (but who’s counting?), Joshua Ladgrove a/k/a Neal Portenza invited my then 16-year-old son Aaron up on the stage with him during his brilliant Fringe show. Last night, they were together again for the first time.
Tomorrow, I’ll be together again for the first time with ?? people (perhaps including some of the people in my photos above) in my first Fringe show ever.
Because it’s a one-time only show, I have only one chance to get it right. Will it be a catastrophe, like a boat hitting an iceberg?
Will I lose my head?
Will I maintain my balance?
Will the audience like my music?
Will they use my mindfulness exercise to be in the here and now?
Will anybody mispronounce my name or be a dickhead?
Will people want to see a show from a “new employee” of the Edinburgh Free Fringe?
Here and here are two songs that are “Together Again For the First Time.”
Which reminds me, I want to see Manual Cinema again.
All your comments on this post will be together again for the first time, below.
And today’s expressions of gratitude are together again for the first time!
