Always learning, always open for something else useful to add to the singer's kit! Sounds like you're not quite the beginner, though:) Thx for the thoughts!

I think it's the difference in what I do in my singing life, but most of my "last minute gigs" are a lot more last minute than that.

Like having to do a Christmas offertory solo because the people who were supposed to do it didn't show. I had about 20 minutes warning and no chance to rehearse or warm-up at all. Oh – and a capella.

Usually I'll only have to do one piece, but the conditions I might have to do it can be anything from an incense filled church to under a tent in a rainstorm.

I keep a running list of active repertoire – songs I can sing under any conditions, and that are fairly broadly acceptable. Generally they're not the most interesting or challenging, but I've always got something that works.

I keep set lists for various kinds of gigs on my hard drive… really comes in handy, but I keep adding newly written songs, too – love to try them out on an audience:)
