Everyday I walk down Adams Avenue.

by Broni

Sitting in my everyday seat, drinking my everyday drink.
I wrote the song ‘Everyday’ 2 years ago on my second last day of my first visit to San Diego in 2009.
Then I played it live maybe thrice at best. Then recorded it, and made it the b-side of the first single off ‘to get her together’ to many people’s groans because friends believed it should make the album.
But I feel it has a nice role to play as it is the first automatic download that people receive when they sign up to my website. Thats a pretty big accolade for my little song amongst all the others I could have chosen.

It’s one of my favorite recorded songs (listen to it here:- Everyday Download
And it’s about this very spot I’m currently sitting in.
I played it on stage last night because once a year I have the privilege of reconnecting with the songs sentiment, as I wake every day not really knowing what’s going to happen, but I leave the couch to find out. I love it here. I love this lifestyle. It just doesnt pay me enough yet.
I have a lot of songs to write. So please tell your friends about me, so I can keep this up for you and me.

The main reason I bring up the song here though is because of the line “I’ve been wearing thongs for days.” it never occurred to me, that over here in the US that means I’ve been wearing A THONG. As in a G string. As in you know, what sisqó was singing about. (weirdo) So when I was singing this heartfelt song I got 3 lines in and I look over to see my friends Kenny Eng and Rob Deez on the stage giggling at me. I didn’t know why until Rob shared this with me later. I wanted to run back to the venue to tell the audience what I meant.
He also told me my line “I wanna fill my drawers with your clothes” from my new song ‘homeless without you’ actually means I want to put your clothes in my underwear!!
Again, very awkward right?

Here I was thinking the main thing I had to worry about was my pronunciation of the word mocha, and my references to John Farnham. But it goes much deeper than that.

Maybe that’s why the girl in the street the other night asked me “so what is this language you’re speaking? Is it Kiwi?” to which I had to respond “um… No, it’s English. kiwi is not a language, and plus I’m Australian” it was very perplexing.

Let me update you since my last communique

I played at Winstons the night of my last blog. I had fun. It was in Ocean beach which I had not yet visited. And I was offered the gig ON THE DAY by the promoter because she had someone pull out…. So I guess I can forgive the venue for this….

Friday I had some delicious Mexican, then I watched my friend play covers while I played shuffle board and avoided a drunk man who kept leaning on me. Then on our drunken arrival home, we built a fort. Are you jealous of our child like whimsy?

Saturday was a show in Bonita. The average age in the room was probably over 50. But that works for me, because my dad always said I’d be loved by the ‘oldies’ they were all giving me the “isn’t he sweet” smile. And the gig paid well which was great because my friends Travis, Rob and I were driving up to LA that night for Hollywood babble on which was super!

Then last night was songs in the round with my 3 pals. I’ve been sharing their houses, their cars and the stage with them, so being up on stage together at the same time was lots of fun. Look out for the Rob Deez version of ‘you are my friend’ coming soon.

Rob Deez back stage with his new guitar that I sold to him. It was already one of a kind. But now with these signatures, it’s a collectors item.

Today, I’m kinda just planning my week, and singing at lestats tonight.

Look at this guy.

And these guys haha

Speak soon chums!!!!
