curious

today i mostly watched samba. it reminded me of when i first discovered it, and used to like listening and trying to figure out the rhythms. even though i knew all the rhythms it was wonderful to be able to listen, take some energy (without sounding odd) and perhaps also make some comments and suggestions to the excellent chap who was leading at the time.

i went to rehearsal like i needed a three week holiday, and came back feeling like i only needed two. despite hearing stories of cambridge, latitude and other frivolity that appears to have passed this summer by.

on saturday i will be playing with some extremely good musicians, without having to worry about teaching or looking after everyone else. i can't bloody wait!
