Sister Four

This is my April page for the BJP. I was inspired to do this one because of a song written and sung by my friend Adam Dwyer. If you go to his site http://www.my space.com/platypus25 you can hear the song in question. "Walk on Cherry Shoes" is one of my favorites.

I can't believe how quickly I finished this BJP page for March, but to be honest, there are not too many beads on this page. I decided some time ago that I would do a page to honor my 'Sisterhood'. I am the youngest of four girls, we are all so very different but at the same time so much alike. We are also in alphabetical order, yes we are! The eldest is A - Aileen, next is B - Barbara, then C - Carolyn and me D - Dinah. I don't believe that Mum and Dad planned this but by the time I was born I think it was a given that whether boy or girl I'd be a D. We don't see each other all that often these days, as we live in different parts of the state - NSW Australia - but are in touch often via telephone or email. This depicts how we are connected by a chain (Daisy) of genes. I am also in the sister(and brother)hood of beading and I cannot tell you how much support I have received from my fellow beaders. The other members of the BJP 2007 group, who are going through th...

This is not my usual posting but as you know I'm a beader and involved in the Bead Journal Project 2007. The Page I made for February is so about music and my all time favorite group, that I thought I'd share it here as well! Hope you like it!

I have a young musician friend who had a gig tonight at the Bridge Hotel in Rozelle. Naturally, I went as support for him but I also love his music, so it was a win win situation. I took a video of his performance, picture quality is not great, as I am a beader not a photographer, but it's a small sample of his work. Adam Dywer is his name and a name to keep your eye out for as I'm sure he will go on to bigger and better things. Adam has been in bands before but has now ventured onto a solo career. He writes all his own material and tonight played an acoustic set. You can see the video on Webshots by nospoj If you'd like to hear more of Adam's work, check out his My Space Page and give his songs a listen! www.my space.com/platypus25 It's the Music, I tell you, Love the Music!

This is a show I wanted to see but none of my friends were too sure about it. I finally persuaded my friend Kerry to come. Well, now she says if I say let's go - she's coming! The young man playing 'Billy' here in Sydney is a name to watch in the future - Nick Twiney. As a lead actor/dancer he is fabulous and only 14 according to the programme. This show selling because we've seen the movie and loved it! No big names, no stars,the only thing I'd heard was that the music is by Elton John. Well as I said earlier - Do yourself a favour go see this show, you'll laugh, cry, and just be swept away by the high energy of the cast. Oh yes there is some great eye candy for us ladies! We were sitting second row back and wow I even spied a good sort in the orchestra pit!!! The kids in the show were all great, but there was one real scene stealer - we decided he was played by Joel Slater and only 11 - he plays 'Michael' and the lad has real attitude, and is a gre...

Wanna Shout! Just arrived home from a fabulous night of entertainment at the Lyric Theatre here in Sydney, went to see "Shout!" the Legend of the Wild One - Johnnie O'Keefe. An amazing cast Tim Campbell, Colleen Hewitt, Glen Shorrock, Mark Holden and who would have believed that John Paul Young was a comic genius! The chorus of singers/dancers never out of step kept us tapping our feet, iching to get up and dance ourselves! Felt sorry for the people sitting in front of us as we sang, clapped and cheered our way through every song. Alexis Fishman has a fabulous voice and can really belt out a tune! High energy, great music and a good story all in one Australian show. Wow! Can't recommend this show highly enough!

In 2007 I made a New Year's Resolution - To go to every concert/show that I wanted to see. I had such a great year that is now my permanent resolution. In 2007 I saw Eric Clapton; Steely Dan; Bob Dylan; two shows at the Sydney Opera House featuring Beatles Music - The White Album Concert and Let It Be; Priscilla The Musical; The War Of The Worlds - Live and Dame Edna Back With Avengance. Last night Feb 28 2008 I saw Santana - wow what a show, two and a half hours of non stop fantastic music. Carlos was on fire showing what a superb guitarist he is, whilst the rest of the band were equally impressive. The drummer,Dennis Chambers, played a solo during 'Soul Sacrafice' that went of for at least 20 mins; raising the roof at Acer Arena here in Sydney. If music be the food of life I might just put on weight! ---------------- Now playing: Carlos Santana - Soul Sacrifice via FoxyTunes
