Well, tomorrow I’m starting a new chapter in my life, to use the well-worn cliche. A new job at USQ in Toowoomba and a new lifestyle living half in one place and half in another. I think I’m organized…… we’ll soon see.
Meanwhile, February is when the gig machine slowly starts to crank up again. I have a couple of JMI live gigs, one this Thursday the 5th in a quintet with Andrew Garton, playing new music of his, and on the 19th with my old partners in crime Jamie and Huddo. I’m also making 2 appearances at the Brisbane Jazz Club, one with my colleagues at USQ, Melissa Forbes and Bruce Woodward (+Huddo) on the 20th and my second outing there as vocalist/bassist, again with Jamie and Huddo on Sunday morning the 22nd. It would be grand to see any of you at one or more of these gigs, they’ll all be excellent fun.
I was just thinking that my new life coincides with a new page for Queensland, with the removal of that embarrassing git Campbell Newman – almost seems to good to be true! Well done Queensland.
