This billy joel record just reminded me of one of my first gigs in NYC when I was 16. I played jazz standards and sang italian arias at an Italian Restaurant on union square. After Id sing for about an hour, the owner would have me walk around with a tip jar and say Buenasera sir. I hope you are having a very pleasant evening. Did you enjoy the music? do you want to make a donation for the musicians tonight? (musicians referring to: ONLY ME). And then I was supposed to thank them (no matter what)and go fetch them water or a desert menu. So sometimes the conversation would look like this... Buenosera sir!....did you like and do you like? UM. NO. I hate opera/billy joel. Oh thank you! (BITE TONGUE) well can I interest you in some cake???. Dear little-me- QUIT YOUR JOB. we all start somewhere. x
