While in the middle of coordinating with a musical band manager on the songs that will be prepared for my sister’s wedding, I couldn’t help but blurt out a question I’ve been itching to ask: “What is it like to work as a bar singer?” (Isn’t the interest obvious from the question itself? I’m glad she didn’t probe on this). To which she replied “Oh, you must really love what you do if you want to make it as a bar singer or performer. Your routine is 9:00pm to 2:00am everyday. You will also wine and dine the audience if you have to. If you are not performing, you are practicing your song or learning a new one. You must breathe music. Or you will just give up.”

What a realistic way to describe the job. But I think it will hardly feel like a job if you love what you are doing. Hmm… this is duly noted.
