What a concert! Words cannot express the river of emotions I felt!
So, as you might now, I came to Amsterdam to see my dear miss Jill Scott preform at the Paradiso concert hall. We got there and I was presented with this amazing hall, intimate and with a “homely” feeling to it, perfect for this kind of concert. The tension built as the time for the performace was coming up… I was standing center stage, with only a couple of people between me and Jill’s feet!!!
It was a perfect concert! Even better than the one I saw in Zürich back in November last year! She blinked at me (oh, I feel like a grupie!!!!) as the small group of us in the front sang the first verses of “Crown Royal on Ice” under her watchfull eye!! It was magical!
Unfortunately for you guys, I did not make a long clip as I did last time… but I needed to enjoy the concert without the distraction of the camera!!!!
Here it is… my edit on the clips of the concert:
Please comment on it, rate it, share it!
Here are some of the photos I took that day…

That’s it! It was one of those moments, oh so special, that will stay in my heart! Thank you Jill, again, for making me feel so good!
Peace and much love

“Heartbeats“, a cover from the “The Knife” 2004 track, sang by the lovely José Gonzáles - a Sweedish son of Argentine parents - on his debut album “Veneer” (and what a brilliant album it is!).
This will be on my iPods playlist this summer when I roadtrip down California!
More sounds to come, stay tuned!
Peace and much love

What a delicious pearl I found right now: Jill Scott and Mr. George Benson singing Summertime live! What a powerful duet!
A great video to celebrate the 300th post here on the blog!
Peace and much love
Stay out super late tonight picking apples, making pies
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
Tiptoe through our shiny city
with our diamond slippers on
Do our gay ballet on ice
bluebirds on our shoulders
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
Turn the light out say goodnight
no thinking for a little while
lets not try to figure out everything it wants
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
