Danny Cooper IS Fashionalbly Fashionable

The microphone squawks as I push my lips to the cold aluminum surface. Test Test Tess.... Can you hear me? Well I can hear me. "Play something!" yells the sound tech. I am sure the sound guy told me his name but all I remember is that he had wicked muttin' chops. (Ben?) I remember the outlandish facial scruff but he also made an off the cuff comment about a girl saying "I think I may have found my future EX wife" She later proved to be a perfect choice for such a comment; which only allowed his comment to reach a new level of amusement, for me. (not you) **singing** Baby, here I am I'm a man on your scene I can give you what you want but you've gotta come home with me....I'm gonna light your candle cause baby your sure hard to handle! Belting out a classic is always a fun way to test the sound of a room. As I tested the sound I realized how hard it was to unconcentrate. Unconcentrate? Yes! Clarity on stage is the first step to proper execution. Who would have thought, I know. But, I'll chalk it up to what yeah gonna do and just enjoy.



I was at "The BanK" on Stephen Ave in down town Calgary. What can I say about the venue? I will tell you this! the people behind the scenes are top notch!!! and the room is amazing. As the room filled I remember thinking how cool it is to be apart of charity events like "The Water Project" I thought about how people all over the world come together donating their, time their sweat and their money. It was a good time! I had the Heinekens and talked trash with my cuz, she is stylin'.



Danny Cooper came out and cut up a couple diddies, not to shabby I must say. One complaint! video cameras should have less bright lights in ur face..damn LCDs. It was a new experience for me on stage I could see all these people looking back at me strummin on the old side ways harp. From my perspective looking out was like I was part of the crowd but yet, beyond the measure of a mnute... Totally a cool experience.



Dionne Dionne by Anya Getzlaf showed her collection just after I was cheered off stage; a true highlight to see such a beautiful woman live her passion. So Brilliant! The highlights of the show were: The model wearing the red dress, the girl that has brown hair that is on www.dionnedionne.com , the lovely girls that held the event and well of course the dresses always get the most applause cause they're AWESOME. (I found this photo on line, but it's not from the event)

All in all not a bad night I even got to go for dinner at the V bar.. In a sea of lame Tuesday night drinking dudes, I was the only one with women at my table. OH and we ARE sorry for wrecking your clean floor, you know who you are.
