Still on a high
It's official. Chris Botti? Has a sista whipped but good. I mean WHIPPED.
I ordered his first two cds from work, and will probably have them by the end of the week. I played the one I bought last night at work today ('Slowing Down the World'). What a beautiful cd...what a beautiful singing voice he has as well. Very sweet and soft tenor. Sort of like his speaking voice. (Which, by the way, is adorable as hell too.) I played two of his cds at work today and sold two copies, so I am not the only one who likes him as well. Even my co-workers are starting to feel the love.
Something new I found out: I happen to have a number of the current cds on sale in the section, and as long as I take them home (or lock them up in my locker) after my shift, I might be bringing in a couple of cds on the nights (or Monday mornings) that I open/ close the section. As long as the main manager doesn't find out, it's all good. :) I played Tears for Fears and The Police this morning, to rave reviews from the working staff. :) :) And I think I have coverage there, so I am not gonna sweat it. But if it looks hairy a bit later, then I'll ease off. I mean, a sista can only take so much Joshua Bell (not that he's not good, mind- he is- but he was killing me this afternoon at work and I was so tired, it's way too mellow to work by at times) and if I never hear Ellie Lawson again, my life will be rich. LOL
I have one more C.B. tidbit before I finally fangirl out for the night- I never mentioned that I ran into one of the committee members on the way out of the concert, who appreciated us still coming out. Then he mentioned, "Oh you know he's staying over at the Dadeland Marriott' (a hotel literally 10 minutes away from the venue) I just said, "You're joking, right?" He was like, "Why would I lie?"
I was highy tempted......HIGHLY TEMPTED....to go hang out in the lobby and probably bend his ear a bit more. But I was by myself, already massively shellshocked beyond all measure from meeting him and not sure I'd know what else to say to him without sounding like some stupid airhead. I mean....I *am* a fangirl, no question. But I am also extremely shy and insecure, even when I think I look pretty good, and I just didn't know what else I could have talked to him about without sounding like a gimp. I suppose I regret it a tad now, but I didn't think I'd make it through twenty more words and Lord knows I doubt I was his type.....
But I till love him. He's great. If I get another chance, I will see him live again. Hopefully get another kiss too. And maybe this time if I find out where he's staying, I'll actually grow some guts and go talk to him. But don't hold your breath. :)
