J.W. WINSLOW'S FRESH ART WEBSONGS:

*   WORSE  * 
 
THE SETUP:  This was the time that I walked through the fire, as my music partner so adeptly put it, stepping out of my comfort zone into the world of performance art. The past months have been dedicated to the Big Sur Trilogy Book Tour, and it has been a grueling job, despite the smiles and "DEVIL MAY CARE" shrugs. It's one thing to promote and work in your own back yard, but quite another to capture a foreign audience. I never had a doubt that I could do it, because this was my BABY.  The trick came in handling the weight of disappointments, surprises, betrayal, back stabbing and bold faced lies that come with being out there, in the REAL WORLD!
 
My plan was to do a mass promotion by media, over fifty radio interviews, book shows and appearances, TV on my shows + others, press, the whole shebang, as my Dad used to say. The cherry on top of the sundae was to be a Performance Art event called WORDS & MUSIC. I created and planned this spectacle with the help of a fabulous musician, his talented associates, my own crew of sound man, videographer and designers. It was to be a work of art, as good a job as we could possible do, here on the Monterey Peninsula.

WE FLEW TOM OUT FROM NEW YORK, HIRED THREE BAND MEMBERS, AND BEGAN THE PROCESS OF REHEARSAL. THE FIRST DAYS WERE JUST THE TWO OF US, HOUR AFTER HOUR, DETAIL AFTER DETAIL, POURING OVER THE PLAYLIST AND SOME 30 PIECES OF MUSIC, WHICH HAD TO BE MATCHED TO THE STORY OF DYANNA FALCONER! THIS WAS NO EASY 
TASK, AND IT TOOK A LOT OF GRIT TO STAY THE COURSE. WE HAD TO HAVE A PLAN FOR THE BAND TO FOLLOW, FOR NONE OF THEM HAD EVER SEEN OR HEARD OF ME OR MY BOOK:) SOON MY LIVING ROOM WAS FILLED WITH AMPS AND CORDS AND LITTLE BLINKING LIGHTS IN BOXES, SEVERAL GUITARS AND A PERFECTIONIST. MAYBE I SHOULD SAY TWO PERFECTIONISTS, ME WITH THE WORDS AND HE WITH THE MUSIC.  IT WAS FUN, IT WAS EXCITING, IT WAS HARD... JUST LIKE EVERTHING IN LIFE THAT'S WORTHWHILE. AND THEN WE TOOK IT INTO THE THEATER AND HAD THE WORST REHEARSAL WITH THE BAND IMAGINABLE. NOTHING WORKED, THE SOUND WAS AWFUL, NOBODY COULD HEAR EACH OTHER, ON AND ON. THE KEYBORD GUY SAID THAT HE BELIEVED A GOOD REHEARSAL TO BE A JINX, SO I TOOK THAT HOME WITH ME! 
 
THE FOLLOWING NIGHT, WE HIT THE STAGE WITH A NEW LOOK, THANKS TO THE TECHS, AND THE PROFESSIONALISM OF THE PLAYERS. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A SHOW, AND AN AUDIENCE, AND APPLAUSE AND LAUGHTER. ONE GUY WALKED OUT WHEN I READ A VERY SEXY SCENE, WHO KNEW?
 
WE CELEBRATED A SECOND SHOW AT HOME, WITH A CASUAL AUDIENCE OF DEER, FALCONS AND BLACK CROWS, FRIENDS AND LOVERS. EVERYONE WAS  BIT WARY AND TIRED, BUT WE CHANGED THINGS UP A BIT AND GAVE THEM A GREAT PERFORMANCE.
 
THE THING I LEARNED WAS ABOUT THE ASPECT OF DOING THE WORK, HANGING IN THERE, RESPECTING THE PERFORMERS, AND BEING PROUD OF YOUR EFFORTS. NOBODY LIKES TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT WENT WRONG, AND PERHAPS THAT IS THE BEST LESSON OF ALL. IN THE END, WHAT WE REMEMBER IS THE DAY AND THE TIME AND ALL THOSE NOTES, PLAYED IN KEY AND HARMONY. BRAVO!!
