The jazz weekend of delight.

What a wonderful weekend!
I would like to thank the 23 singing students who gave their hearts and souls this weekend and bravely sang throwing caution to the winds. Even on their own from time to time...
Singing is a very personal way of expressing oneself, and improvising is a very risky business. Put the two together and the risks of humiliation can be seen as overwhelming. They all gave it everything they had, which is the best way to get a lot back.
I hope I will see them again soon.
I came back on Sunday as high as a kite but exhausted.
Down to earth today, I am off to the dentist...

I know what you mean about the risk of humiliation. Almost any kind of performance in front of people terrified me when I was young.

It sounds like a great weekend. Hope the dentist is gentle.
