in the spotlight

When I came back from 2-week long Xmas vacation, I was greeted by one of my office mates. She asked me if I could play the guitar for our company's Annual Globe Awards 2006 as opening act. This anticipated awards night honors leaders, teams and projects who have made great impact on the success of the company. It's a formal event attended by our CEO and top executives within and outside Globe. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those recipients (boohoo) but fortunately, I get to show off a bit of talent ;).

Playing with me was Wally, another great guitar talent and way better than me, btw (damn, need to practice more). He did more of the instrumental part while I did most of the rythms. Our singers were Ainah, Wilma and Paolo, and mostly sang lounge renditions appropriate for a formal dinner. We played 1. Can We Just Stop And Talk A While by Gary V, 2. Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell, 3. Emotions by Destiny's Child, and 4. Knocks Me Off My Feet by Stevie Wonder.

Man, oh man! Our singers were great! And we played one heck of a performance too! ;)

Hehehe, wish I could do this more often... doing things away from work... and get to be on the spotlight even for little while.
