Main Street Jamboree-Where's Holly?

Yes it's true, I just about missed my second act! I'll start from the beginning. I was mingling with some of the other musicians playing in the show, getting to know them. We all had specific times to perform. With a live radio show, every minute is accounted for. I kicked off the show with a song called Dancing in the Moonlight, a pick from my current album Holly from the Heart. When it came time for intermission; a time for commercials, I went out in the lobby to sign CDs and to talk with fans. I was so preoccupied that I almost missed the second half of my gig! My mom and I heard clapping, and we were like, "Oh my god, Holly's on! She jerked my arm and we ran down this long hall that lead to the stage. I could hear him say," Where's Holly she's not at her piano?" We finally pushed many layers of stage curtain aside. I was so embarrassed. When I sat down, the host Mylan Ray playfully said, "Holly, where were you? Outside havin a smoke?" I just laughed and said, "No I was yackin with some fans and signing CDs." The crowd busted out laughing. So I thought that was definitely a funny moment worth mentioning. After all that, the next song I played was On Alki Beach, also a piece from my debut album. I told how that song was born from a trip to Seattle Washington when I visited Alki Beach. I just recently wrote my dramatic finale called The Coming of a Storm. It will be on my next album that I will put out sometime next year. Almost missing the second half of my gig is definitely something I will remember until the day I die.
