John was in Amsterdam on business for the day, but was back in time to see an amazing concert last night – Xavier Rudd, making my little brother jealous.
XR is a musician/singer from Australia. He plays about 10 different instruments, and on average he is playing three at a time. At a few points in the evening he was playing five; three different drums, a rattle and the didgeridoo. He can keep different beats with different limbs at the same time as constantly circular breathing to play the dig!
I wasn’t a big fan prior to going, John was, although I new I would like him a lot more live. That was the case for sure. I’m always impressed with an artist if I can go to a concert and hear songs I’ve never heard before and really like them.
Tonight we are catching up on things at home. Tomorrow is dinner with a couple from Vancouver who provided us with a “How to get settled in London” reference guide via phone and e-mail. It was our bible and we are grateful.
Friday night I am attending an HSBC Diwali customer event. For the weekend we are heading to Ikea to get John’s office stuff, and playing Ultimate. Did I mention we would also be sleeping in?
