I’ve Got a Crush On You

So, some might find it odd after all this #DFQWBS and bridal brouhaha that I have written NOTHING on my blog about the wedding.

That is for a very simple reason. Between family obligations, thank you notes, work and Nine Muse Press craziness, I just haven’t had the time. I have posted the photos on Facebook, but allow me to share a select few candid snapshots with you here.

Fleeing the scene of the crime

Now for the special surprise. Some of you may know that I did a surprise song for my groom. I sang “I Got A Crush on You” to an orchestral track. I was kicking myself for not hiring a videographer, but I found out yesterday that  my boss took video footage of several special moments in the wedding including my song.

So, here it is: “I’ve Got a Crush on You”. Be sure to check 2:09 where I employ my #darkfairyqueen powers to prevent him from turning off the music before the 2nd verse.

Annasongs: Less than a Latte

To stave off the inevitable post-writing contest letdown, I have decided to let you in on a little secret.

I sing.

Most people don’t know this, despite me spelling out quite clearly that one of the prizes for #btcurtain is Veil & Subdue, a Gothic operatic project. Check it out here: www.veilandsubdue.com

Not only do I sing, I sing compulsively. I sing in the car, on the street, at my desk, on the beach.

 

Here’s me singing onstage!

It recently occurred to me that all this singing, which I do anyway, could be turned to good use (like my tiny Honeymoon fund).

Then I discovered Fiverr.com. For those unfamiliar, it allows people to offer any small service for only five dollars.

Well, I decided I could do a song. Or several. So I designed a couple of gigs (Fiverr term for jobs).

For only five dollars,

1) I will record a classic jazz song for your loved one

2) I will record a traditional/folk song for your loved one

3) I will record a special occasion song for your loved one

Although I say it is for your loved one, I certainly would be willing to record a song just for you! And only five dollars! 

 I’d love to hear some other ideas for gigs in the comments.

Some of the ones I have planned are: I will record a poem reading for you, I will record a lullaby for you.

Not all of them have to be recordings, but I do love using my voice to read or sing.

My friend Paul (@paulramey), co-conspirator in Veil & Subdue, bust out laughing when I told him. He said, “You’re cheaper than a latte!”

“Cheap” is such a scrungy word; let’s be gracious and say “less”.
