On my way home from the city, I stumbled onto the best busking I've ever experienced. The busker was Sasha Pak singing all kinds of songs from Frank Sinatra to Abba, and the crowd just lapped it up. Soon there was a huge group dancing their hearts out. The vibe was festive and electric. It was extremely special. I feel very blessed to have been there. I sent him a donation and message and he sent me a lovely message back.
Sharon's niece did her first ever public singing performance at the bowling club in Avalon Beach. Up until now, she has only sung at home. I was bowled over by how good she is, both at singing and playing keyboards. She has a really easy voice to listen to and has learned a beautiful selection of songs. I am absolutely certain this is the first of many gigs for her.
It was a fun day. Always so lovely to see Sharon and great to meet her sister and hubby too, along with her niece.
Before the gig, I also go to take some photos of Avalon Beach and tidal pool. It's a lovely spot.
It took me nearly two hours to get here by public transport (train and two buses) but well worth the journey. Sharon gave me a lift back to Gordon Station near where she lives so the journey back was much quicker.
On Sunday, I met up with Lydia for some more jazz. Beautiful music and a lovely, warm day.
On Friday, I went to Manly early in the afternoon for a stroll and some ocean therapy. B and John met up with me and we enjoyed some wonderful jazz.
More beautiful classical music. They reproduced the way music was played in the 1800's by using old instruments and playing in the old style. It was amazing.
Not my preferred kind of music but a fun night out with the boys. I was very thankful I brought ear plugs as it was decidedly loud!
