Say what?

I spent several favors last year getting some friends a gig.
It fell apart because the "scheduling was bad."

They've been *handed* another opportunity for a similar gig.

Actually K. likes to perform with a bit of preparation. She has been performing solos since she was 6. She has had solos at church over the years. She gets disappointed when she doesn't get solos with her choir. But she hasn't grown up in the filk room, and doesn't always make it to cons, and we've only done local ones for many years. This limits what she can sing off the cuff. She knows some of Kathy Mar's songs, has the CDs :) She had no problem getting up and soloing "May It Be" at Baycon when she hadn't practiced it since the other con months ago, but she had it down for the other one, so she was fine.

And yes, KD's response was less than... tactful at best. And as I didn't use initials above which might have confused things, KD usually does the verbal 'no no' reluctant act. K tends to do a quieter 'uhm, not sure' when she's in a new situation (or not sure what song to sing).

They both need to grow into their talents and poise some. *hugs*

PS - I often hang out in the filk rooms and *I* still can't sing along with 3/4 of the songs :S

Still friends, okay? No dramas :D :D

Of course still friends! But hey, we can't let the teenagers have all the drama. OK, on the other hand, let's leave it to them after all.
