Weird dream

valis2I dreamt that I was in a coffeeshop, and I had my keytar with me, and I was getting ready to perform.
I got all set up and then sang a couple songs. "Livin' on a Prayer," by Bon Jovi, stuff like that. My keytar was really awesome--I think I was involved in the design or something. Anyway, it was small (had only an octave and a half of keys), and it had these funky buttons on the edge that could do all sorts of stuff. The buttons were really neat--they were like minature antique typewriter keys. And there were switches and all sorts of other fun things all over it.
I finish another song, and then I realize that the woman who is front row in the audience (she looked a little like Molly Shannon from SNL) was actually a talent scout for a music label. She seems to be losing interest, and says something about my horrible music choices.
"Oh no!" I say. "Those are the songs everyone requests. I'm just so used to playing those! I didn't know you were here! What do you want to hear?"
She names a country-western song that I don't know at all, and I ask her for another suggestion. She says another country-western song, and I'm also clueless. I realize that her label skews toward country-western.
"Wait, I know! I'll play an original song. This is one of my own." I start up a beat that I've pre-programmed into the keyboard, and I begin to play and sing. The keytar is fabulous and immediately harmonizes with what I'm playing. It even does a full voice-box backup vocal. The song is pretty fun, though I can't remember it now. (There were two verses that were from two different POVs, a guy's and a girl's, about being in a relationship together.)
I wish I could remember the music now. It was a fun kind of alternative pop song, and it would have been nice to sketch out a little of it. Still, without the magic keytar, there's no guarantee that I could do it justice in the real world.
