Blessed garage sales

How I love my ukelele! My little bro picked this up for me at a garage sale the other day. It only had three strings on it (it was a $4 uke) but that minor set back doesn't keep me from still playing it (of course I'll get that last string put on though, can't play too much without your high G)

What a sweet brother to buy me such a gift (although I was frequently borrowing his ukelele before :)

I can already play a couple songs on the uke:

Important detail !!!

What a STORY!

Yea, uh...no biggie. I just fractured my thoracic 12 vertebrae cliff jumping over 4th of July weekend in Cali with some girlfriends.

1st time I've injured myself this bad. I'd never broken or fractured a bone before this.

The brace had me feeling like a superhero. I was kind of sad to see it go after the 4 weeks were up.

Now it's time for good ol physical therapy and my back will be good as new.

I LOVE JAZZ

Hola, Hola!

PHEW! I'm one BIG PROCRASTINATOR!!!!

I'm too lazy to update you all on the last eight months..... so to the HERE and NOW

Went this last Monday to the Triple Door to see some friends play a show. I met these guys through my sister Laurianne. Being a musician she has a lot of musical friends. She and I will often go check them out at Lucid, a jazz venue on the Ave in U-district. They play every Thursday night from 9:30 to close to 2am.

This show at the Triple Door was a special show featuring clips from their new dvd they just made. It was a sweet show! They played a few songs, showed parts of the dvd and then brought a popular singer on stage, Chocolate. She sang a couple songs with them. Her voice was amazing.

SO a good, good show. Excellent jazz, vocals & company.
