Spamalot…Opening Soon!!

Performing, Random Thoughts No Comments »

I hope everyone’s ready and booked their tickets for an awesomely funny production of Monty Python’s Spamalot, opening next week (Dec 31st – NYE) at the Frankston Arts Centre. If you don’t have tickets yet, you can get them by going to www.plos.asn.au

We start rehearsals at the theatre on Monday, I need to spend a little more time with my bass clarinet before then!! Got to get my hands around those extra keys but that should be no problem. Looking forward to much fun playing a rather challenging but entertaining book with the band that is sounding fantastic. Get to play some fun jazzy tenor sax stuff as well as some klezmer clarinet and some really fun bass clarinet lines. Learning to read those low ledger lines through this show. Got to always expand the knowledge and skills whenever and wherever you can….

I hope you’ve had a wonderful time over Christmas. I’ve spent a lot of time with my family and had my girlfriend with me for the first time. She went home to her family last Christmas but this year she is here and has come to my family events which I have really enjoyed.

Enough for now. I’m sleepy!! Good night

On Holidays now!!

Performing, Random Thoughts No Comments »

School is finished for another year and now I only have my two private students to teach from here on out. I am finishing up with Musicorp and a little scared about the lack of certain work next year. I’m taking a leap of faith and hoping that my internet business start taking off shortly. I will be completing my Grad Dip of Education to become a fully qualified teacher and will then look for a department teaching job a few days a week in 2011. There are several jobs available next year but I haven’t gone for any yet and might now be too late. I’m sure there’ll be some more jobs at the start of next year if I need them.

We’ve begun rehearsals for the PLOS production of Monthy Python’s Spamalot which opens on NYE. I’m playing reed 2, clarinet, bass clarinet and tenor saxophone. I’ve just been able to get a hold of a very nice bass clarinet to low C so now have to learn how to get around those extra keys. Should be fun and I’m glad I have a little spare time to do the practice. It’s going to be a fun show, great cast, the band is awesome and I’ve only been to 2 rehearsals so far!! Make sure if you get the chance to check it out.

Almost the holidays!!

Performing, Random Thoughts No Comments »

It’s been a really full on year for me, lots of teaching, lots of gigs and I’ve been a bit overwhelmed to be quite honest. I’m looking forward to having a bit of a break very soon. I should say though, that I’m so grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had this year. I’ve played in several musicals and been able to play some new instruments and had plenty of fun at the same time.

Had the first rehearsal last night for the PLOS production of Spamalot and that is going to be heaps of fun!!! Some interesting and tricky clarinet playing required and some nice bass clarinet lines too. Even get to play my tenor sax which is always a good thing.

I have a few new internet ventures starting up and more will come over the holidays, when I finally get some time to devote to it. I have another couple of sites up, cookbooksnow.com and getsnowglobes.com Drop by them and give them a look and see if you find anything of use to you. I’m working on new sites constantly, slowly expanding my internet empire….ha, ha, ha!!

I’m sure I’ll be back before Christmas but I’ll take this opportunity to wish anyone who reads this a very Happy Christmas and hope you get to spend some wonderful time with your families. See you soon
