It starts!

Yesterday I went down to the venue where I'm planning to have my concert, and had Meeting No. 1 with the owner. Went very well - agreed in principle, with details to be looked at next. It starts!

Since then, I've typed up a detailed proposal, and will take it to him next week, for Meeting No. 2. Very exciting!!! I'm thinking of doing the show on Sunday 6 December, which is in 7 weeks' time. I'm going to plot a detailed marketing strategy, with time frames, and start as soon as we've finalised the important bits.

Technically, the last time I did a concert was on 1 February, this year, when I did a trio gig at the Nassau Hall, in Newlands, with Wayne Bosch (guitar) and Shaun Johannes (double bass); but that was one set, so it wasn't a whole concert. The similarity between that one and this one is that original material will form the core of the repertoire. I'm thinking of once again adding a double bassist to the duo, but possibly also a percussionist.

So much to think about! I've just been jotting down some thoughts, and am getting more and more excited. Will write more as I go along.


My partner and I often discuss the way the concepts of scarcity and prosperity consciousness play out in our respective lives. With that as a backdrop, I'd like to share these wise words with you, by Oprah Winfrey:

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.
If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
