New business and places to play

Oh how long it's been... since I last even gave this little corner of the world wide web a side-way glance...
but now, I'm back!

Fall is starting to set in, or at least that's the impression we're getting here. But who knows, since it's august and we're in the south of Sweden (meaning: unpredictable) it could change any day now. So, if things go as they usually go, when I have started to have strong feelings about suits, boots and tweed I can probably let the flip-flops out on the streets again.

Anyhow. My internship has finally begun! It's at this great little record label, that has alot to do with world music and jazz. And I have to say, so far it's been great for my musical palate! I'm listening to things I rarely take a closer look at, and that could only be good.

Tip: Sousou & Maher Cissokos new album "Adouna" is coming out in October - check it out! Even if you never have listened to the kora or African music before - it's really nice. Keeps that feeling of summer lasting a little bit longer - even if it's just in your ipod.

On my on musical endeavors... I have the opportunity to play this fall at a lovely restaurant... only problem is I have no real repertoire yet or any musicians..

But I have decided to get a move on, on that part. For a repertoire, I'm thinking something in the lines of "great songs by powerful female singers" or "a timeline of songs" (from the early 30-40's to now.). Or maybe a combo? What do you think?
