My music story : #71: Hecklers humbled

-

Slain practiced hard to get the shows. One of the shows was Sunday jams that happened once a month on the first Sunday of every month. This concert was free, often sponsored by brands. Each band got 30 minutes on stage that included soundcheck. 

While we were doing one of the sound checks, the audience started heckling! Calling Bryden a Hippo! While we huddled together, pre show, Bryden shared that he was disturbed by the audience heckling. We had our faces painted and I felt very comfortable behind the mask! But as we started playing, we sounded so good, that the heckling crowd were just silent, 

When it was time for Bryden’s solos, there had their jaws dropped to the floor. It felt good to have won the crowd! Ever since that show, we had everyone’s respect.

Leg > Bike

 I met with an accident today! To save my new bike I used my leg to cushion its fall! I have a crack on my middle toe bone! I had gone to Saptagiri hospital initially, the first doctor who operated on me was a student, he was learning to stitch on my leg. During the stitch, I insisted that a real doctor do this. Then the next guy there tried adjusting my bone back over the stitch without knowing that it’s stitched. I was in soo much pain.  Then we decided to go to Baptist hospital, I got admitted and got my surgery done. Atleast I saved my bike.

Snow!

I know it’s hot and humid, But why do I have cold feet?  Butterflies in my stomach,  I’m feeling all that again.  I know I’m in love.  She’s an artist,  Paints sceneries and teaches me the art too!  Organised, clarity in speech,  My “crush”  Then I noticed the ring,  There was perhaps a man in her life?  I secretly wished for someone, just like her.  Then it snowed, just on the inside, My heart felt heavy A song left my lips,  I prayed, I manifested!  Now I wait.

 6:14 am! I took a shower and got ready for class at 7:00 am! But the class got cancelled. So I ended up playing the piano and guitar and singing some old songs.  Then I lost the mood to play the instrument and came back to bed sweating! Then I listened to a lot of Tamil songs, some of which I want to arrange on guitar. Maybe I was listening to a lot of melodic sad songs, the voice lulled me to a semi sleep state.  Then it was class time from 4:00 till 8:30 pm. Long day.
