Sax on the Beach and a Cocktail of Music



We have just come to the end of a period of rich musical experiences! First Arvid and Jo arrived with flute, harmonicas, up-market guitar and an array of gadgetry. Once settled in at the cantina it was if their three year absence had never happened! Then Rainer came for a brief stay, joined in of course, but also made contact with Austrian Franz, so that there was a great gig at Christos restaurant until the early hours. Then Jan and Chris from Norwich hit town and there was a week of overlap, followed by a week during which the two of them did their thing most afternoons.
Shortly before they left there was a well-publicised evening at Atoli. The band was led by said Franz and resembled that from last year with the addition of Jan on sax. It was billed as "We won't do it for Money", and the there was a Rock set and then a more Jazz-Funky one. The place was heaving and a great time was had by all.
A similar line-up (minus Jan) played again this Thursday with guests and a more satisfactory sound mix. Cool!


And on the subject of "cool" we recently had some freak weather! There was a sudden clouding-over of the sky in the afternoon and it was chilly! Very odd!
