Jazz realisation
I have both taken the ‘A’ train, and been on Route 66.
Now, if only I’d been one of the Apollo astronauts…

About this blog
It's over.
Ah... Do you want to know a bit more?
This blog was set up to chart my experience singing in Malaysia for two months (see below for the original 'About this blog' blurb) - and is over until the next time I do a stint in Asia, at least. At which point, I'll probably return to this page, slap a big '2' next to the words 'Lost In Transposition', and start blogging every day, all over again. In the meantime, I'll be writing weekly posts about life, the universe and jazz music over at the 'Blog' section of andreamann.com. Which is my main website, and where no pictures of my bottom exist.
My name is Andrea Mann and I'm a jazz singer and a freelance journalist. I live alone in London, England... except for February and March this year, when I'll be living in with approximately 300 other people in a hotel in Penang, Malaysia.
It's a five-star hotel with a pool, a spa and a jazz lounge. I'll be singing six nights a week in this jazz lounge, and the agent says I'll "be treated like a local celebrity". I'm imagining my experience might turn out to be a little like Lost In Translation. Hence the title. And the bottom.
This is going to be my blog about my adventures out there. I apologise in advance for making you click on my bottom to get to the homepage. Past posts

‘…or been named after a state in the Deep South.’
What Carolina ?
You’ve probably been to ‘Chelsea Bridge’ though (or Battersea Bridge as it really is) or Berkeley Square and the Ritz or the British Musuem.

Just to clarify, Chelsea Bridge is such and Battersea Bridge is such. Billy Strayhorn was apparently inspired by Whistler’s painting of Battersea Bridge but for some reason called it Chelsea Bridge.

did he go there on a Chelsea Morning?
the state I was thinking of is Georgia. or rather: the state I had on my mind was Georgia.

Not sure about the Chelsea Morning…
I knew you had Georgia on your mind
I suppose it might be better than being in a ‘New York State of Mind’

of course, James Taylor did have Carolina on his mind…
