Nature striking back...!

mad cow disease.....SARS..... bird flu.....swine flu..... only waiting for the fish pest to arrive.....

is nature striking back at us? isn't it high time to realize that we are constantly insulting our world environment and nature in so many (greedy) ways...??? please, let us all wake up! if everybody gives her/his little contribution towards a healthier life style and clean environment, we should be fine in no time...

think about it seriously.... before it is too late! we should not only be aware of ourself but become active citizens for our world and stand up and speak out against those who are destroying our planet. thank you!

Democracy or Anarchy?

...living in Thailand for most of my life, I just can't get rid of the feeling that some people are mistaking democracy with anarchy....

Martin Taylor & Alison Burns in the Land of Smiles

During their recent tour to the East and Australia Martin Taylor and Alison Burns gave a terrific concert at the Thailand Cultural Centre in Bangkok. Their thrilling performance to an overwhelmed capacity crowd was crowned with cheers and lasting standing ovations.













Fortunately, this time around their schedule allowed for some trips to Samut Prakan's famous Ancient City and Crocodile Farm were both, Alison and Martin, had their paintings done by talented young Thai elephants. A highly delicious Thai dinner at Bangpoo's bird sanctuary out in the sea rounded up a joyful day.

There was also time for plenty of chit chat and some good coffee and tea at our Sukhumvit residence. Their visit was once again great fun and gave the media and the music comunity a chance to learn a lot more about jazz. Looking forward to welcoming them again in the near future

...the idea of being reborn as a cat...one da

I just thought that being reborn as a silver colored Persian cat in a house like mine wouldn't be such a bad idea....after all it would just only carry those three hardship obligations: eating, playing, sleeping.....and loads of that, of course....
