One of those days

Sooooo...Thursday started out okay. Viv and I got to chat with Chantal Kreviazuk before her show at Centennial Hall. She was wonderful...friendly...shared a few laughs, and invited us to the show. I had the honour of introducing the show...which started with local singer Meaghan Smith (who was tremendous...funny and wow what a voice).
I got to sit backstage for a bit with a few of the hard working stage guys. (they said I should plug the Matt Dusk Show on the 12th, because they think he's awesome!) I did the intro, and sat down to enjoy the show. Chantal came out, did a few songs and started making fun of the "radio guy who she did an interview with, who told her she sounded like Josh Groban".
Of course EVERYONE in the place thinks it's me...BUT IT WASN'T.
At that moment I just wanted to crawl under my chair...when she said it was the "20 something talk radio guy". I am waaaaaaay past 20 anything, and I know she is not that blind...plus...EZ rock is not a talk station...WHEW!.
AFTER she left our studios she went for a chat elsewhere, and that's where that happened.
It was one of those Seinfeld moments...where you just know that you've done nothing wrong...but you're doomed anyway. Despite watching the rest of the show from under my chair...the music was wonderful...and as always, it was a pleasure to see a concert in the intimate setting of Centennial Hall. At some point over the next few days the Chantal interview will be posted up on the website...so check back for it.

In my defense...

HAHAHAHA! I NEVER said she sounded like Josh Grobin. I asked her if she found it difficult being somewhat of a "niche artist" LIKE Josh Grobin or the Canadian Tenors, where they have trouble being categorized as "classical" or "rock". She was very polite while answering the question...I didn't mean to offend her. BUT! I like being thought of as 20 something... Your Pal, Al (from down the hall)
