Trumpet playing, 2013

Inspired?

Visible to anyone in the world

Yes, but perhaps not to Blog...clown

Still trying to 'get into' DD206 and now remember a similar feeling at the start of DD131 - my other social science module. thoughtful

So, while I work my way through this latest module, I will be: - 

  • Eating, regularly, at Pizza Express restaurants in and around London;
  • Drinking (too much) espresso - usually on the same occasion as the pizza;
  • Listening to music - currently (right now in fact) recent Jazz by Dave Stapleton (from Cardiff);
  • Preparing my trumpet playing for the Advent, Christmas and Epiphany 'season';
  • Reading sociology based material;

Currently I'm reading a fairly large book (at over 400 pages) called "SOUNDS LIKE LONDON (100 years of Black Music in the Capital)" by Lloyd Bradley (2013). This is a fascinating insight into the development of black music and the surrounding culture and gives me a flavour of how many of the styles I enjoy 'came into being'.

Cheers for now,

THE ESPRESSO GUY wide eyes
