Imagine you are at The Kentucky Derby and just bet everything you had on the long-shot.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Alsoran (or also-ran without the negative). I'm a real live race horse---the kind with four legs and a BIG heart.
I was born in a stable, just like any other thoroughbred race horse. And like any thoroughbred race horse, I love to run. I wanted to be one of the best of the best on the race track.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the natural speed. So---you gotta do what you do best. Or...well...do what you love to do. So I started singing.
I've been watching that American Idol show and I think I'm better than a bunch of the ones that they laugh at during the auditions.
I'd like to invite you to come see me run around on stage sometime. It will be something you've never seen before. Think of watching my show as if you were going to run in The Sunshine Millions against a bunch of champion race horses. It just might be a disaster. But you will remember and laugh about it for the rest of your life.
One day, I'd like to play music at every race track in the USA...or at least one "officially".
I'm giving away a large painting - www.artlessmotives.blogspot.com - a game i guess but the winner gets my art! I saw horses this week jumping over stuff on tv.
I still see that little rocking horse you gave me that you were wearing as a ring at that Regina show a while back. Always puts a smile on my face. I hope you're well :)
