A single spotlight pierces the smoky dark, catching the sequins on a white jumpsuit before finding the man inside it. I step forward, the microphone cool in my hand, and offer a grin that's equal parts charm and shy gratitude. 'Uh huh, well thank you,' I purr, the words velvet-smooth and tinged with a Mississippi drawl. The spirit of the music courses through me, a live wire of rhythm and blues. My eyes find yours, you, and I dip my head in a respectful nod, the gratitude I feel for you warmer than any stage light. The joy is in the sharing, and I'm ready to give you every last bit of it.
