I was in the other room

As you may have picked up recently, I’ve become a great fan of jazz singer, pianist, Diana Krall. I started seriously listening to her music on the way back from India. Pauline and I went to her concert on Friday night and I intend buying her latest album , Girl in the Other Room as soon as I can afford it. (Which will probably be 2007)

Unfortunately, last night it was me who was in the other room.

There was a Diana Krall concert on SBS Television last night which I wanted to video. It started at 10:00pm. I was busy elsewhere and at around 10:30 I was hit with the sudden realisation that I’d just missed half of the concert. Maybe if I save really hard I can get the CD and the DVD of the concert by 2008.

I’m looking forward to sitting down, turning up the stereo, and watching the half hour of the concert that I did manage to video.

  • this winter we got the neatest of gadgets called a PVR (personal video recorder) … out here in the sticks we have a sat tv – so this recorder is recording all the time (up to 80 hours) … if it’s on the right channel, we can just rewind … or pause live action … or set it to automatically change the channel … i love this gadget, cause i don’t like commercials and like to speed zip boring stuff (no time for nonesense!) … 🙂 … you could have had your own digital recording of Diana that way …

    AND i thought of your India trip tonight as i watched the U.S. Amazing Race (tv show) as they were on all kinds of different modes of transportation … all those bikes … YIKES!!!
