The beauty of it is when you can just show up and hit the notes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are notes between notes, you know.
Notes are tricky in an audition, because I find, more often than not, my instinct is right.
There are rhythmic ideas which sometimes only work up to a point. In writing there are moments when it just comes off the page, it's not just a collection of notes.
That's what I used to enjoy so much: Bringing a record home, having it arrive in the mailbox. Having the whole experience of hearing it as you're holding it and looking at it and reading the liner notes, if they're anything.
We tune down a full step when we play but I never miss a note. I've learned how to keep my voice.
It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.
As long as I can sing and hit the notes, I want to do that.
I myself never make any notes. Usually, if I write something down, I can't read it afterwards.
I never look at a note. I just roam the stage. The people do not want to leave.
It's not enough to hit the notes. There is no point in the singers just standing there and sounding wonderful if they're not connecting with the characters they are portraying.
