Why is it, one of the first questions people ask when I speak of my 1/4 world tour on the Boat is, “What are you going to be doing?”
I’m a freaking performer! WHAT do you think I’m going to do, be a bartender?!?
The next question is almost always, “You sing?”WTF!?! …and this is from my friends.
Come on, I know, I haven’t been in a musical since 1999, but it’s not for lack of trying – it’s not like I didn’t do a cabaret almost every year since 2000… I know I’m not a pretty singer, but I do have freaking Musical Theatre training; I can carry a tune and sight read sheet music.
This Boat Job is validation. I know I shouldn’t need it or want it, but, it is, it’s validation.
My name is Vinnie Costa, and I’m a singer – and I can say that, I’m getting paid to do just that. No more just singing in the shower
or the bathtub dag nab it!
