Talent Show Biz
September 24th there was a talent show at "The 12th Gwangju International Community Day," which is long for "Foreigners' Festival." I played a couple original tunes with a British drummer I go to church with. It was a BLAST, let me tell you! As you can see, it was a big stage, and there were probably 600 people there, mostly foreigners. The sound system rocked, my guitar sounded great, my vocal was crisp...life was good. And Dan (the drummer) and I had 'em dancin', screamin' and encoring'. Loads of fun!
You can see the judges on the left. We won third place (100,000 Won, which is about $100). Second was a Chinese girl who did a traditional dance, first was a group of Filipino women who did a traditional dance, and the audience choice award went to another group of Filipino women who, coincidentally, also danced.
I think we would have won if we had also had dancing girls up on stage with us...oh well, live and learn.
Here's me greeting the assembled throng and explaining the tunes (you can barely see Dan in the far background):
Here's me rocking out:
