Second Link Of The Day. Take a look at R - the musician who I bumped into at the street market - performing with his two boys at last month’s event.
Not too shabby for a seven-year-old (drummer) and nine-year-old (pianist).
Note to self: must find out where Lucas got his ‘Musician’ T-shirt.
Very excitingly, my blog is now being linked to by the jazz website on the world wide internet, namely the American site Jazz.com.
They’ve picked me as one of their ‘Best Jazz Links Of The Week’. Right here.
I was even at the top a few days ago. Jazz fame at last!
I wrote the following post last night, but the hotel’s internet server went down. So: Meanwhile, last night in the hotel room…
V is busy packing. Goodness knows how she’ll fit everything in her suitcase, given that she has bought an entire new wardrobe, and a wooden elephant. Being a 3D designer, however, and thus very spatially aware, she’s an expert at packing. I said that there must be a job in there somewhere. And then said: “Removal man”.
We’ve had a lovely last day, checking out the monthly street market in Georgetown - which felt more like a village fete than a market, and where we bumped into a musician I knew, who promptly invited me to perform at the event next month - and then heading up to Batu Ferringhi for the sunset and the enormous evening street market they have there. It was gift-shopping heaven - and I’m sorry to spoil the surprise, but… you’re all getting knock-off Gucci bags and Michael Buble CDs.
It’s been wonderful having V here. We’ve realised that we’re highly compatible holiday chums, finding ourselves being conversely up for it (whatever ‘it’ is) or wanting to take it easy at exactly the same times. She’s also proved to be a savvy financial advisor, especially when wearing a bikini. (I’m sure there’s a job somewhere in there, too.) I will miss her when she goes. And will also have a lie-down for about a week.
In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a Spot-The-Ball competition (American friends, see here). This was Batu Ferringhi by sunset tonight. Can you guess where the ball is about to appear?
The correct answer is:
