On the way back from that rehersal last night I picked up Jane and the dogs at the beach and we watched the sunset. It takes about 3 minutes for the sun to set here (lattitude and all that craic) and its amazing the amount of colours that bounce around the sky as it sets. Here is a picture i took on my cameraphone through a sculpture overlooking the sea.
Oh, the rehersal: It was good. The other musicians there were absolute legends, i felt very much the underdog there, the cellists (2) both have their own albums out, one of the guys writes film scores and the two violinists are legends here in Perth. So we started off with a few tunes at the start of the book, one of which being the hendrix tune purple haze, with an 8 bar viola solo at the start going along the lines of this " thwak thwak, thwak thwak, dunmh dunmh dunmh dunmnmnnmmmnmhhhhhh, dunmh dunmh dunmh dunmnmnmnmmhmnmhmh" etc. So, head down, full volume, I ripped clean in, it was one of those times where no matter how hard you try you just CANNOT play any louder; anyhoo, while I was focusing on this the singer dude, who was standing just out of my vision to the left started jumping up and down, and then kissed me on the head. Twice. I think I passed the audition.
