Stacy Brooks Band Interviewed by Shan Of Juju Films

I enjoyed interviewing Stacy, it was a lot of fun to watch her perform. I was able to learn a lot about Blues and Jazz. I always thought that it was some music that was depressing, in its own way. However after listening to her it showed me that it wasn't. Stacy in her music showed us that thats not all its about and with her singing she had a variety of different styles of songs she sang. We recorded her, (Tundie) and we then interviewed her band. It was a rainy day and honestly, it seemed like it was going to take forever. And it did.. lol they were taking their tine, nothing on them it was just rainy outside and a bit uncomfortable. I then learned how imperative it was to eat something before I venture out and do these interviews. I knew that it was going to get better but what kind of bothered me was when we didnt have the opportunity to record the way I wanted to, I was under a false impression. However the night went by and I again, struggled through the questions, however it was through this interview that I learned how to interview and not talk so much. And thanks to her it was so nice to talk to her and learn how to do that instead of conversing and talk to the audience..or the camera. I am glad that I had the opportunity to learn this instead of learning it at a later time. Although, I learned a lot from this I also knew that it would be important to grasp other understandings. And at the end of the day, I knew that practice makes perfect.
