fragile idealist

I come across many things which inspire me each day...some more than others. So far in the last week, i've been reminded of how lucky I am, how beautiful life is to share with everyone, someone, how many facets of life has influenced my own life. Sometimes you are down, but I remind myself how lucky i am, things could be much worse so quit whining and enjoy every bit of your life! FRIENDSKudos to my friend Dennis, who back in the day, I had taught and helped him with his A.Mus.A exam. Now, role reversal. We had an awesome jam session yesterday and Master Lee got the creative flo' happenin' y'all!...

Heart Reach Australia 2009

As I finish my concert for HRA 2009, we move on, full force ahead to plan for the next - hopefully a more youth orientated event.It was an amazing concert with such great support from past patrons as well as new audience members. Not only that, the band was in great shape and supporting artists, Alan Winter and Tanya McFayden were great too!Thanks goes to The Piano People for the loan of their piano and tuning services and of course, to Leo for the impeccably suitable dress for the occasion, being on the Sunshine Coast and all.Blessed with glorious weather, I felt right at home.Please check out...

myspacing...

It's been a while since i've trawled myspace music and wow, there is a plethora of talent out there! A friend showed me Mateo's myspace and I'm absolutely loving the construction of this song 'Complicated'. Quality piano, quality voice, quality mixing, layers. Just thought i'd share the lyrics from the song:[VERSE 1:]So look at me nowIt's a quarter pass 3, I won't sleepCause you walk through my dreams every night So why did I changeI never thought cupid could winChange the way that I been all my life [PRE-HOOK:]I just wanted to beNever wanted to fall... ya knowBut you just got meIt's not intentionalCan...

Fashion Palette 09

Last week was obviously the big Fashion week for Sydney, with Rosemount Australian Fashion WEek throughout the week followed by Fashion Palette 2009. With its inauguration with the Launch Party @ Cargo, it was off to a good start! The 2 day event @ the Sydney Convention Centre had fashionistas, buyers, students and curious fashion driven minds filtering the auditorium, eager to find out what was in stored for them. General Pants had already won several girls with their free 15 minute studs campaign, pressing studs into Levis & Converse shoes for you to keep.The highlight for the first day...
