Highlights
Live At The Kraine
When The Shenanigans Begin Again
Two years before the world became more than acquainted with virtual spaces and broadcasting from home (or anywhere), I tried to do what may have been the first Facebook Live cabaret. As anyone who recalls how terrible latency was in the early days of lockdown, you can imagine how tragic it affected my hubris-drenched production with a green screen, overlays, music, singing and more. To my horror and not until the show was over, I learned that the sound of the music wasn’t aligned with my vocals and neither with visuals. It was a crapfest. But, I learned so much from the mistakes. And, when I first performed online during Covid, I nailed it!
