I was trying to get there early to get a chance to chat before you started, Paul. Unfortunately, my grandson had other plans (like having a huge diaper malfunction combined with the previous day's mexican meal - EW!), which put me back a lot in my preparations. (Yeah, it really WAS that bad! Had to do the whole entire bath thing & clothes change & omg it was EVERYWHERE! NOW I remember why I only had one kid!)
Then, of course, my wife. having come straight from work, had to rush off to get a meal before going into a diabetic shock or something due to low blood sugar, as she hadn't gotten to eat since around 1 PM at her job, so I didn't get a chance to chat with you after, either. (She does really have type II diabetes, so I hafta bow to those needs when they come up.)
Anyway, I'm really glad I got the chance to meet you & see your act, Paul. For the record, whoever told you that you were too loud was way off, imo. I walked around the store, listening, for a cpl minutes, & while you could be heard, you were far quieter than their usual piped in stuff, outside of the snack bar area. You had a very good mix throughout the store, btw. (I'll bet it was the barrista that told you that, right?) Loved the heelies thing, man! Yep, you have a very good act. Only suggestion I could make would be to get a more accessible 2nd trigger for your loops recorder, if possible, for when you're doing the drums, cuz it looks like a logistical nightmare when you have to spin & hit the stomp button & keep time.
Really good solo act, for sure, Paul! My friend & family liked it a bunch. I missed the lil green guitar, though!
There were lots of moments in your performance that stood out with me. I just wish I was more familiar with your material to remember them in context & make intelligent comments on particular songs. I love that you were all over the genre map, man! I never knew from what direction you would come at me next! 50's? 90's? comic rap? Beautiful, Paul!
