A great gig

What's the best way to spend a rainy long weekend?

On Friday I met with Xiabing for a Chinese dinner. She had invited me to return the movie invitation from half a year ago. On Saturday I went to a dinner party to socialize and meet old and new friends. On Sunday I drove up the coast to Rosco Club near Newcastle. A friend of mine who lives there, Peter, had invited me to come to play some music.

Peter's friend Pete who is a fantastic musician (in the middle of the picture) was also there on this weekend, and so we had a really good gig, entertaining our very appreciative audience of about 10-15 people with our songs for over 4 hours! It was amazing how Pete could join in and round my songs off with virtuosic improvised solos.

Australia has switched to summer time, so we now have 9 hours time difference to Germany.

Hallo Martin,

bist du gerade sehr im Stress, weil dein Blog nicht aktualisiert wird? Kann ich verstehen, du hast dir ja noch viel vorgenommen bevor es zurück geht.

Hallo Alex,

Es gab von der letzten Woche nicht so viel zu berichten, und es gab auch nicht viele Fotomotive. Insofern hab ich mal 6 Tage kein neues Posting gemacht, weil es eigentlich kein Thema gab.
