Todd: Shirley, we're talking about your singing career and you sing at weddings but you also sing just at normal events right like at clubs and places like that?
Shirley: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, just at live venues 2 and having either a concert or a jam session.
Todd: OK, so what's the difference between just having just a concert or a jam session?
Shirley: As a singer you get a lot more control about what you would do and what kind of music you're going to do at a concert because that's really your chance to make you selection on the songs and the style of music and who you would play with and if you want to have a theme for the evening.
At a jam session, that's a little bit different again. Usually just musicians come together and every thing's completely unrehearsed and people just literally 3 just jam which means they get together and they spontaneously play and sing and ...
Todd: So it sounds just like a party for musicians really?
Shirley: Usually the audience can get involved depending on the size of the venue 1. For example, a lot of places that I sing at are quite small jazz clubs so you're very close with the audience and they can ,you know, be clapping or just enjoying the spontaneity. There's usually a lot of energy in that kind of performance so I think that kind of leaks out into the audience and at the same time the audience bounces back that energy so it's almost like a conversation between the musicians and the audience and you get to feed off each other.
Todd: Right, so you feed off the audience, their energy.
Shirley: Yeah. Yeah.
Todd: Now when you preform do you get stage fright or do you get butterflies in your stomach?
Shirley: Yeah, enormous butterflies. Actually more like huge cockroaches 4 fluttering around in there I think.
Todd: Yuck.
Shirley: Sounds pretty terrible I know but, yeah, I'm not an easy performer. It's kind of stressful for me before I get out there but once you get out there and you remember that the purpose for being there is to just give the audience a fun evening. Some relaxation 5, some time away from their everyday lives and that they're there to do that as well, so I find that a kind of reassuring 6 thought and I see it as my job to just give them a nice time.
Todd: Well, I've heard you sing and you have an amazing voice. You're an incredible singer.
Shirley: Thank you.
