the use of initials rather than names is something of a blogging etiquette. it also gives a degree of anonymity to the people I’m discussing, which seems only fair as this blg is obviously public and yet none of them agreed to being written about! :-). I suppose somewhere in my head, also, I wanted this to read something like a story, with you the readers fleshing out the characters in your head. hence not putting pictures of them in the posts, either.

funny, the British connection - I have fond memories of the place, too ;-). how did you find the blog, out of interest?

and you are right - as a jazz singer, I do have it all, and I feel hugely lucky, especially when i get to sing every night, as on this job. but as I wrote on the other post: I’ve never done the travelling-with-my-work thing before. and the life which you describe - constantly moving from place to place - really doesn’t appeal. so don’t worry… I’ll be fine!

thanks again for commenting, and for all your good wishes.

Posted my comments earlier in Jazz.com instead!

While writing this, I have yet to see a picture of you though I did see some hypertext link which should have you taken with others, which I will be visiting after this.

I live just 30 minutes from Ipoh, where T lives? I find the write-up rather mysterious, using initials instead of first names, at the least.

UK brings back fond memories as a student/trainee in 1973-81, 1984 to sell our house in Leeds which if kept till today, would have made me a millionaire in Ringgit. Recent visits were in summer of 2006 (Colchester) and summer of 2007 (Canterbury) for my daughters’ convocations. My eldest, son, lives in London working for a college.

I think as a Jazz singer, you have it all - travelling, meeting new people and so on, but in my opinion, very damaging to one’s emotional state unless by nature, you are footloose and fancyfree. Even then, you would have left a trail of broken hearts for those who fall in love easily!

All the best in your career!
