Angel Wings, Jazz Soirees, And Why I Shouldn't Be Left Alone...

Just to get this off the bat quickly, here is the picture of me:



Yes, I did wear Black Angel Wings to school. Why? Shits and giggles. Also, I like to think I added a little bit of magic to everyone's day. You know that part of people that says "this is a bad idea. You'll be horrible embarrassed."? I don't have that. I think it might have died. Anyway, for me, doing stuff like that is the equivalent of, say, Bungee Jumping - just a rush of testosterone.

Ah, next topic.

Like listening to Barry Mannilow, tights, and covering yourself in honey, Jazz music is incredibly sexy. And so it was with great pleasure I found myself at the Korowa Jazz Soiree last night. FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE! The singers were great, the music was brilliant, and some of the original compositions were just plain awesome.

Highlights for me were Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4", which is a really great tune, very cool, and "Defying Gravity" from the musical "Wicked".

Shout-outs to BS who invited me and was the rockin' Bass player of choice, KP, who I hadn't seen since prep and had a crush on, who was grooving on the piano, and to AW, who was every bit as lovely as she was in primary school.

As for why I shouldn't be left alone, it's because I sing Gilbert & Sullivan songs when I get bored. So now you know.

Au Revoir.

It makes me smile knowing that you enjoyed the one Stage Band song I screwed up in. (Actually, there were multiple, but still...) In the recordings, if ever you hear "bar 37" being whispered faintly, that's intended for me.

And it wasn't scripted. Either way, glad you had a blast.

Cheers, BS.
