Today me, my family and some twenty relatives had a party. We celebrated my mother's 70th birthday. (The real date is next tuesday. But it's more comfortable to do the partying during the weekend.) All and everything was very nice and happy.

Later at home Sini and I listened/watched to some CDs/DVDs we acquired today... First it was Nick Cave and his CD The Boatman's Call. The whole was a surprise! I've never listened to any much of his music. Well, he is a poet for real. Simple meaningful music!Then there was Rush and Hemipheres which I already knew is a good album. Next was the time for some DVDs... J.J. Cale makes simple music, makes it well and has somehow touched me for so long. Maybe it's the way he uses shakers and other so soft percussion instruments...

Everything today was so fine and good. I've actually been smily for most of the day - even though I had only some two, three hours for my music - to play flute and domra...

Now - some more DVD-music - Frank Zappa and Does Music Belong In Music...
