Sorry I haven't been blogging more regularly. I don't really have a good excuse, other than that I just haven't really felt particularly inspired to write anything. But, tonight I feel inspired, so tonight I'll write!
I just got back from playing with my Milim homies at l'Endroit - the place near where I used to live (and still relatively close to where I live now). I rehearsed with them Wednesday, then played with them Thursday night at Janeer (a different club, close to the university) and then again tonight. Georges, a pianist from Martinique by way of Paris, is sitting in with us while he's in town (for 2 months or so), and he really adds some spunk to the group. All of us play better when he sits in! As for me, I'm feeling happy because I played well tonight (it's not always easy for me to say that). When things go right, I feel completely, 100% me, and completely, 100% free. That's how I felt tonight! So, thanks, Milim. And also, it just feels nice having a second music family here. I will miss all of my Senegalese music buddies when I leave...
