Inspirational Performance
I couldn't find any footage of my inspirational performance, probably because it was a folk rock concert at a high school in Rahway, NJ last May, and not more than a couple of hundred people attended. After years of being a fan, I finally got to see Dar Williams perform in person, and it was amazing. Possibly the best part of the concert was toward the end when she was singing "The Babysitter's Here." In the middle of the song, she completely messed up the words, and in response, she just stopped playing and started laughing at herself. Eventually she started the song again and didn't have any problems the second time through, but from then on she wasn't just this folk-rock goddess Dar Williams, she was a human being, capable of messing up and laughing at her mistakes. I really appreciated the vulnerability she showed the audience in the way she handled it. So, as I said, I couldn't find any footage of this particular performance or even of another performance in which she messes up, so I'm settling for an unrelated video of her performing just for the benefit of showing people who're unfamiliar with her an example of her music.
