How many of us can still remember our very first clown appearance? When was it? Where was it? Whom was it for? What did you do?
Can you still remember how you felt?
Well today was "SPANNER's" very first time to get the feeling. For a number of years now my daughter CRAFTY the clown and I have a gig at a big shop where we perform every last Sunday of the month. She normally does facepainting while I do meeting and greeting, funny bits of business and lots of balloons.
Today Spanner went there with us and got his first feel for a 2 hours gig.
I must say, he didn't do too bad. I think it might have been a little bit easier for him at his first performance because he had both his mentor (me) and his future wife (my daughter) there to ment and "guide" him.
Most of us didn't had this when we did our first appearance and I feel good that I could be there for one of our future clowns.
Break a leg Spanner, you can be proud on yourself, BUT, don't get big headed, there is still a lot of hard WORK ahead!
