Yesterday, my boyfriend Alex and I drove to Nashville to see Regina Spektor; and I think amazing is a good word to describe the entire experience, saying that she is extremely talented is an understatement. When she played poor little rich boy; she was playing the piano, playing a chair with a drum stick and singing. All while making it sound incredibly spectacular. When she played fidelity, she stumbled on the keys and started laughing . She was apparently embarrassed that she had messed up, but she just kept on playing. Her last song in the anchor was Samson, and it was more beautiful live than on CD. After the concert, I was dead set on meeting her. After a concert at the Ryman, the artist playing comes out of a door in a back alley. It is not a scary back alley, there are three lively bars and the most you have to fear is the drunk people asking for a lighter. So after an hour, in the freezing cold, with a handful of other fans waiting she finally came out. I had brought my Fidelity sheet music for her to sign. The security guard asked everyone to get in a single file line and have cameras ready. I was the fourth or fifth person in line, and when she got to me she smiled and took the sheet music out of my hand to sign. She was about to sign it , until she started looking at it and asked, “ wait what is this?” I replied back just with my jaw dropped telling her that it was sheet music. She opened the book and just looked at it and said, “ this is so smfancy, where did you get this? I don’t even have one of these.” Then she just looked at me in shock, and smiled. Then I got to take a picture with her. :)
me and regina!

I am super happy that you got to meet her! You sounded really excited about her show. I do not really listen to her but I think that anytime someone gets to meet an artist that they really like it is such an awesome thing! That's really cool that she liked your sheet music, too.
