(Untitled)
I feel like other people have comandeered my bank holiday weekend. Which isn't true but probably makes me an awful person. It's all well meant and nice invitations. The prospect of a 3 day weekend without a day to myself is a little bit overwhelming. Even having had Sunday and Monday to myself after Jazz Hogwarts. One of those times I really wish I ( Read more... ) -
Huh
Oh wow...the updating interface on LJ is all...new. Sigh. Social networking sites "fixing" what is not broken. Stop stop stop stop ( Read more... ) -

100 Happy Days. Day 7. Blues Won't Get the Cleaning Done - Take 1

Breaking the rules a little. But I'm a musician and music so often makes me happy - so pictures of it seem like sharing half of what I could. Today Twitter took me to Ayanna - whose name I'd heard - but I'd never investigated the music.

100 Happy Days - Day 1: Olive Soda Bread
I'm not doing this 100 Happy Days meme photo blog so much because I don't notice and appreciate how happy I am. For me it's because online I tend to whinge rather than celebrate ( Read more... ) -
Marius Neset - King's Place 18-02-2012
I was almost regretting buying a ticket for this before I went. I'd done some sketchy looking things up on you tube - and I did think it might be yet another gig with too many notes cascading everywhere and clashing with each other in virtuosic yet unpleasant ways. But it was on the Ivo Neme/Jasper Høiby axis of things Jazz so I figured it probably ( Read more... )
