Hey, Mr. DJ. Put the Record on

Another good moment this morning. I had been told for a while about the return of one of my favourite DJ (also magazine editor, musician and tv host....and more) on a radio channel I havn't heard about. I gave a try on the way to work and it's kind of bringing back my good time when I was young(er) years ago watching or listening to his programme. To me it's not only the joy of music but the stories behind or related to them were also interesting things he'd told during his show. Just hoping I would have FM Tuner at the office.

P.S. The first song I heard from the channel was "Come As You Are" sang by a woman name ......... Love (not Courtney, for sure!) with a guitar, sound like playing live. Nice shot!

Tribute to Anondh

It was a month ago that I accidentally had a ticket for this concert without any knowing that this guy, Anondh, was the one of the great thai jazz musicians who played imporntant role pushing jazz to the wider range of audiences. Sadly, he died with another his American freind, also his teacher, during the royal jazz festival 10 years ago. I actually remeber that tragedy very well but I don't think he's the same guy this tribute was all about.

Good music, many good stories and as well the sad bbut true story. I was inroduced that he once played with a female saxophonist who was later lose contact since she had moved to France and havn't contact each other since then. But sometimes life is more strange than fiction, she came back to Bangkok on that week just to stop before taking her flight to Australia and wanted to played her music somewhere in bangkok. Some guys told her about the tribute but she respond back to them "why do we need to paly tribute to Anondh? He's not yet dead". She later realized about the death of her band member, also her teacher. So she straight ahead to the concert to face the truth by her own.

I saw her cry on the way to toilet and later found out about the whole story from the host about her unexpected coming. After she introduced herself to the band and the audience, she play the last song with them...she cried..and smiled it's one of my unforgettable moment
