C is for Company---I posted this explanation of my name a while back on that "Celebrity of the Day" thread. But if I sent you the link to it, you'd have to really DIG to find it. You might never come out alive, so here it is (below)...
It's an old theatre story. Back when I was pounding the pavements in New York a couple of decades ago, we'd be told every now and then at the ugly cattle calls to sing our "best 8 bars" of a song. Frustrated, I walked into an audition one time and suggested to them if I sang the blues could I get 12 bars? (Fortunately the musical director thought that was hilarious. He understood that "blues" is written in 12 bar phrases instead of 8, and it was my clever and pathetic way of trying to get 4 more bars out of it. He told me just for that, I could sing the whole damn song. I got a callback and almost landed the part... it was a replacement for a lead on Broadway. They narrowed it down to three of us and that's when I got cut. The point is, I decided to be gutsy, semi-clever... and ask for more time to be heard... and it paid off. So I decided to use that as my "name" on this board. It seemed like a personal but logical choice for me. Sorry for the thread-jack... and thanks for the compliment! Maybe they'll take some of those ideas and use them.
I, for one, would love a set of martini glasses.
