on the road again
We are in the middle of quite a good week. A six day five-set per day jazz/avant garde music festival will lead us right into a trip to Amsterdam and Paris. Not bad, huh?
Tonight is the last night of the Vision Jazz Festival, run by artists and musicians. Peter got a free pass as a member of the press. I got a free pass by volunteering to work in the kitchen. Both Peter and I worked really hard - cooking borsh, pop-overs, making sandwiches, and serving drinks - and of course, listening to a lot of really great and exciting music.
We also met many musicians and other music lovers from all over the world. Our little kitchen crew includes one person from America, one from India, one from Isreal, two from Japan and one from Russia (and no one believes I am from America with my weird accent).
On Wednesday we are off to Amsterdam and then to Paris and maybe to Wuppertal, Germany (which though not a general tourist location is the honored birth place of several great musicians and artists as well as being the place where Peter’s mother will be).
