THE DOCTOR!!

I usually save My stories until I have time to reflect on them for a little while before I actually write them...But this one is the kind That i have to get down on paper immediately.

The Wellington Jazz Festival is going on right now. We went to see a jazz Quartet play...they were pretty damn amazing. The pianist was damn good, and since I grew up w/ the piano it was great to listen to her play. The guy on brass did a great job. He played the baritone? and the trombone, and did a phenominal job. The drummer was extremely talented and the leader of the group, but he was a little cocky and kind of overwhelming.

The guy on base (or cello...we couldn't decide what it was) was amasing. He was in complete control of the show. We will call him...THE DOCTOR! Think, the guy from that board game, operation. He looked like the guy who was laying down on that operating table, without the smile. Short grey beard, stone face expression, never smiled. The final piece to the puzzle..he had an extremely bald, shiny head. I mean it reflected the light so much that I wanted my sun glasses.

The DOCTOR went on on this bass slash cello instrument. For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about, it was a giant violin looking thing that he picked like a guitar. He stood there the whole show and dominated. THE DOCTOR!!! I wish i had a picture of him.

ANy ways, I have a totally new appreciation for Jazz now and i had a great time. It is actually my birthday, so I am already pertty hammered and about to go get totally bliteratied. The hostel we stay at hs a bar...they are excited to learn american drinking games and celebrate my birthday. P

Peace to you all...ahve fun and be safe!!!
