See Ben Folds

Last night Mel and I went to see Ben Folds (www.benfolds.com) at the Lyric theatre, which was excellent! It was one of the best concerts I have seen. Ben, as known to his closer friends, performed with the QLD Symphony Orchestra as well as tenor opera singers and a duo called The Dresden Dolls (www.dresdendolls.com) – check out their web site for some MP3’s.

The sound was simply sensational, the piano, tenors and orchestra made for an amazing experience. Even better, we had seats in the choir area sitting above theorchestra. What excellent seats! Being able to hear every little nuance of each instrument. Fantastic! He is a great showman, got the whole audience and the really orchestra revved up.

A big thank you and hug to Melikines who bought the tickets!

Its amazing how much spit a tuba can hold….

Start up my blog

I finally decided that its time I started up a blog. Not because I have something interesting to say as such (though of course I do), or that people should read my blog in preference to everyone elses (and they should); its mainly because I lead such a fruitful life full of little twists and turns – so many little events some fortunate some not. In any case I thought I would share them with you as I have so much to tell and so little time.

To get things rolling, I have been using the WordPress blogger. As you can see my banner is, well, the default crapola. I’m after a few ideas from those artistically gifted to get things lookin sweet. If you think you have what it takes then give it your best shot.

The winning entry will get a little gift…
