The good Reverend with his ghostly assistant, Miss Mona, completed the first show and the grade back here at the Ministry of the Internet is about a C+ in too much determination and not enough funny.
Not surprisingly, only a few people visited but it's not clear when they come / go so I don't really know what happened with that.
Mostly this was jumping into it to find out what happens. OK, no guitar, no nothin' ... go. It turned out to be much more nervous-making than I anticipated as it makes sense to me to go on-stage with a guitar as that's what I do with it. There's no question of focus or intention in that circumstance whereas everything is fluid if you only have a mike in your hand. I've always admired comedians and singers the most for their courage as they have zero props, no shield, no protection ... only that microphone.
As to whether this one would save any souls, maybe if it were a deep-sea salvage operation and could do it mechanically but that's not saving a soul, that's just getting it dry.
Here at the Ministry of the Internet, I'm calling it a success because no-one got struck by lightning while we did it and it went end-to-end without explosions or fire alarms. The technique needs work but that's ok. I hoped I could deliver more but that gives the challenge for the next one. Miss Mona did well with it as she's got no script and rolls with it wondering what comes next. From this one I see it needs to have more of an outline for next time. There still won't be a script but the outline is important.
Where to find an audience for this guy is a novel question as social networks are whirlpools of self-reinforcing narcissism. They're a troubling social phenomenon as well in the destructiveness toward real relationships is extreme.
If not there then where ... well ... we shall see.
It's only people who go way off the wall who will understand it but there's no genius in making a simple thing complex, it's the other way around.
One bizarre note: Cat tried to watch from Germany but she was blocked by YouTube which said it wasn't permitted in her country. Google prevents the Word of the Lord from reaching the Germans. Bastards.
Odd one, that. No good explanation for why they should do that and it's not known which other countries are blocked. Bloody rubbish.
So, pleased at accomplishing it and that drives doing it better. Will review prior to deciding on when to do another.
