The Jazz Club Calling . . . Cairo, 2001, I am sitting on my pc watching the new Springsteen ‘’Live in New York’’ DVD.That alternate, mellow , slower version of ‘’The River’’ comes on and Bruce hums the solo melody at the end.It’s not humming, it’s something else, it’s moaning, he is making music out of a freakin cry.I am hit with a thousand arrows in the chest.A rush of goosebumps literally shuts my eyes closed.I break in tears.My mentality has changed.I now know why I envy him so much…how can someone command 80 thousand people with a weep? How can someone go up there and demand TO BE FELT like that.That was how.I was fucked. Later that night, I went out to @cairojazzclub where I newly started to hang.There was nobody I knew.Place was packed.I hung around at the bar.DJ was spinning electro tunes, something the Egyptian crowd goes bananas over.I noticed there was a mic on his booth yet he wasn’t using it except for the occasional ‘’Is everybody having a good time ?’’ And ‘’AHMED…my BEER’’ to the waiters (there were at least 4 of them called Ahmed).By my third drink, still on my own, my ears pick up the A minor key in the track he was playing, my pocket key, kick was a steady 127bpm, I look towards him and muster the guts to go up there and subtly ask for the mic, all in sign language, he somehow doesn’t hesitate…with a passive yes he hands it to me.I stare at the crowd and plunge into a falsetto harmony, eyes closed, heart wrenching humming emulating what I just heard that afternoon, a good 36 bars of it.I open my eyes and the whole room was still.EVERYBODY was looking at me, couples stoped kissing, groups sitting turned around and starred, all 4 Ahmeds stopped serving, IT’S LIKE SOMEBODY HIT PAUSE ON TIME ITSELF, every eyeball starring at me..in aww. It lasted maybe 2 seconds before they broke out in claps and ‘’whoohoos’’ but in my mind, it lasted for an hour.I had somehow successfully injected my feelings into an already happening room, it changed everything.I knew right there and then…This is what I wanna do.I was 17. . . . #truestory #truecalling #TBT #TurnbackThursday #CairoJazzClub #BruceSpringsteen #cairo #egypt #singersongwriter #origins #performance (at Cairo Jazz Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9crEknsKK/?igshid=18d6g6ccvmhf6
