Not My Father's Son
“I was to perform in concert for a week at Feinstein’s, Michael Feinstein’s eponymous cabaret space at the Regency Hotel on the Upper East Side. I had played for a week there earlier in the spring to a great reception. I knew my song choices were probably a little idiosyncratic and certainly politically challenging for the club’s regular demographic, but I believe if you’re honest, true to yourself, and committed, and especially if you use humor as a tool as well as a balm, people will respect y...ou perhaps more than if they agreed with everything you said. It’s actually quite a good ethos for life: go into the unknown with truth, commitment, and openness and mostly you’ll be okay.
I had started singing in concert like this only the year before. For years I had wanted to do a show of my own. On the rare occasions when I sang a song at a gala or benefit, not in character but as Alan Cumming, I was amazed at how different that felt. I wanted to pursue that feeling in more depth one day.MoreLess
