This is an entry for myself. Funny checking out old entries, and in a while... this will be.
Today is my last day of being 30 years old.
Like every other day a new year has passed. "New".
What has happened over these last 365 days...?
Hmmm...
A couple I brought together got married and had a kid. Score!
I bought the organ of my dreams and have all the instruments I really need. A really good feeling. Not to really need anything! My trio is doing pretty good, and will be playing tomorrow with Benjamin Koppel, a really god saxophoneplayer, who has played with the best of them.
The trio... damn we've had a few ups and downs.... mostly downs, but good downs. We've gotten a lot better than when we started out just a year ago, and we keep getting better! We've had sitdowns talking about our weak sides as a band, and as individuals. We all wanna play this music and I guess that's what binds us together. It all gets better. My compositions gets better and... well, it all seems to be getting better, which is a good place to go!
I started playing the saw more. Kinda dove into it and learned a little bit more about how to play. Well, a lot more, Got to play with a few "legendary" musicians. Or at least well known...
This has also been a year of trying to live on my own, and keep a job for a long time.
A year of feelings. Confusing and exciting! Nabiha, Ditte, Pia at Didde's party...
Frustration towards the non-functionality of the trio...
Sexual: the new adventures with Ditte.
Anger. Real anger towards a guy who did something to one of the above
Joy of playing music
Earlier this month I had the privilege to make my grandparents extremely proud. On the 4th of October I played a concert with some of the best musicians I've ever played with. A big concert at "Den Sorte Diamant". The concert was amazing and really made my grandparents see, that music is not necessarily a bad...

Joy of playing music
Earlier this month I had the privilege to make my grandparents extremely proud. On the 4th of October I played a concert with some of the best musicians I've ever played with. A big concert at "Den Sorte Diamant". The concert was amazing and really made my grandparents see, that music is not necessarily a bad thing to spend a lot of time with, even though it doesn't pay the bills. They were proud of what I've become. A great feeling for them, but maybe more fullfilling to me. Hard to say...
Afterwards Tias drove os to a restaurant where we all had dinner. It was a good feeling to play the concert, take everyone out to dinner and everything was payed for by playing music. A fantastic experience absolutely free!
I think that would be the biggest experience of the year.
Oh, I also went to the states twice. Both of those were really nice times! Extremely nice to see all the guys over there again, and I'm pretty sure this friendship/family affair will last throughout my life!
First time I was there I picked up 2 1962 Fender Jaguars. Second time I got to try out my B3 at Megans house.
So, this year I have aquired bought 2 B3's, 2 1962 Fender Jaguars, 1 1964 Fender Mustang (a kinda kringlet story), 2 Hammond A100's, a Leslie 147, a 21H, a 247, a 251, a 122 in a 50C cabinet, a mannquin doll and a hell of a lot of tv-shows on DVD. That's pretty much it...
I'm getting tired of writing. Hope I can edit this... (or write more some other day. Or next year,,,)
