Michele Mele - Blog

Why you may ask, am I blogging again and why , you may ask, did I stop?

Well, I guess I got tired of myself and saying the same thing over and over again and wondering if anyone really cares?

Why do we , as humans, feel a need to communicate?Tell our ideas to other humans…wonder if they get it…Maybe it’s because we don’t want to feel alone. We want to know that somehow we are connected, to at least one other person….I was going to say “individual” but I think even that word contradicts just what I”m talking about. Why do we call ourselves individuals when all we try to do every minute of every day is find some magical way that we can relate to others????hahhahaha We would feed and protect our children before ourselves, compromise our own safety to protect others, open our souls through the arts so that someone can recognize it and validate it……so why call ourselves ‘individuals”?

I think we’re “Ones” We’re one but we’re also all one….

Sooo, I guess that’s why I’m blogging…to feel the oneness…

We’ll be back at Daniel’s of Nobleton on Tuesday, September 29th 7:00 PM for the NEW TALENT SHOWCASE INVITATIONAL!

Our house band is Robi Botos on piano, Russ Boswell on bass and John Mele on drums. There is no cover charge, and Daniel will create a special club menu for the night. Reservations will get the best seats.

For upcoming musicians, this is an opportunity to play with seasoned professionals… or bring your own band. We had a great time when we did it in June.

About 10 years ago at Gate 403 on Roncesvale in Toronto…

Ron Davis was playing piano and invited me out. I went with my friend and was very nervous. I had on black pants and my favorite pink T-shirt. It had little embroidered roses around the neckline.

What did I sing? I think it was Honeysuckle Rose. I had to do it because I had my first gig coming up in a few months… I was always a piano player. A classical piano player at that!! I wrote music, I taught music, I directed musicals… but I never considered myself a singer! Yikes!!!!

It was fun!! I loved it… I wanted to do more!! Everyone was nice!!

I went back the next week, and then to another club called Sax on Yonge. There was a trio led by the wonderful and talented Julie Michels. I brought one of my originals. I did One Note Samba, and then the next week I had the courage to try out the original… Arms Length. My friend took pictures outside the club. I felt silly, but I wish I had that photo now.

Julie was wonderful and very encouraging and welcoming, not to mention a phenomenal singer!

I think open mics are great. It’s all about being… open!!

I’m really looking forward to this one!
