"You gave a good performance.  I think the crowd was just surprised that it was you on stage.  And if you'd waited a little longer, letting them get over their surprise, they would have given you the applause you deserved.  Like I said, you gave up too easily.  Once the lad has finished his performance, what say we try again?  Now, I just need to think of a song that will get them properly mesmerized by your voice."  Nathan's list of selections was limited, so it didn't take long to come up with a possibility.  "Do you know "Fires at Midnight"?  It's a witches and magic piece that might get them in the mood.  And it's upbeat at the end enough to have them stomping their feet and drumming on the tables.  Unless, of course, you have a song of your own we could try.  If the pianist knows it, I'll do my best to follow the lead of the two of you."
