Hey guys

[dusk 910]

So some of you may have noticed that I have been away from this site for while now and I think that it would be fun to explain what I have been doing for past few days. 

 

My big brother studies in high school that is specified in music studies and this week there was event in Helsinki where all of the high schools like this would meet up and show some stuff to each others. My brother's band went to Jazz workshops and they needed someone to play bass for them so my brother asked me even though I am not in high school yet, but it was okay for everyone since I will be most likely student there next year. 

 

So first I was practicing songs with band for two days and I lived in my brother's apartment for that time. If anyone is interested to know more about the music we played then check out Pat Metheny's "James" and "Follow Me".

Then we went to Helsinki which was quite long trip to go (about 600 km) but time went quite quickly talking with my brother's friends who are really cool dudes and I haven't met as cool people on looong time. I am really happy about this because for some time I have felt like I can't make any more good friends. For few years, I have been in one group and I really haven't met any new people before this who were actually friendly towards me so I had had quite annoyed feeling before this week. 

 

It was lot of fun visiting in Helsinki since I haven't been there on at least 3 years. Really beautiful city with mixture of old Russian style buildings and modern places. First night we performed in music center of Finland and it was really cool to visit there and I haven't performed before in front of as big audience who are all musicians. Then we had jam session with people from other high schools in club of music center and my brother was extremely happy because one of his favorite jazz saxophonists was listening there and even played a bit with us.

 

Next day there was one workshop right in the morning and it was cool to hear some tips and lessons from experienced musicians and I have gotten my interest for composing once again. It was good to see some kickass playing skills that encouraged me to start practicing really hard to one day be as good as them.

 

Then I went to walk around city with friends and I walked to two quite beautiful tourists who needed help finding one mall so I got to help them and it was quite fun to walk around city with two beautiful chicks and talk with em'  

Later we went to see some jazz bands from other high schools and some other stuff. 

 

The last day we went back to music center to see one concert of classic music (baroque to be accurate) and well I have wanted to see really good phil-harmonic orchestra and I got what I wanted. 

Definitely interesting week, I had lot of fun, made new friends, learnt lot of new things and I haven't felt this happy on long time! 

Now I am kinda tired so I will return to my moderator duties tomorrow!
