I convinced myself to take part in the 40-hour famine programme for kids in Africa. I've given up using my mobile phone for 40 hours *gadzooks!!!!* and no partying this weekend either!
This is good - I'm home, watching episodes of Coupling - where do the Brits get their whacky sense of humour from? Stumbled across Jazz exercises for piano on the net, tried out the first lot. My sight reading sucks - story of my musical life!!! Spent the evening listening to Marvin Gaye, while working out. Now there's an interesting story... Marvin Gaye...
The man who redefined soul, the father of RnB - boy, could he sing! Troubled by his addictions and bankrupt, he went back to live with his parents and wrote the best music of his life towards the end. His father, a pastor, shot him dead after one of many heated arguments - what an irony, huh???
