"'especially'…….
A journey to Germany, Bulgaria and ….. wait for it ….. Iceland!!"
Day 3
In the end I
got 2 hours sleep and, as it happened, this was the start of a series of
problems for me with a far more serious outcome than simply a lack of sleep!
I slept most
of the flight to Munich and then had to change to the flight to Sofia.
You know how
it is (don´t you?) when you´re this tired everything is an effort and I just
tried to make sure I didn´t lose anything!
I slept some
more cat naps on this flight but it still wasn´t enough and, after we finished
the TV show, I was relieved when George suggested we go to his appartment for
the few hours before our flight to Varna. I was able to nap there and again a
bit on the short flight to Varna which had been delayed and I was beginning to
sense choppy waters ahead. You know how it is (don´t you?) you just have that
feeling that something not so great is on the horizon but you can´t put your
finger on it……
One blessing,
stroke of luck, whatever you want to call it was that we were staying in the
hotel in which we were playing…. great! I could crawl to bed, but first, I had a
job to do and I needed some help. So I prayed and of course it worked.
This little
piano bar show was really cool and every bit as enjoyable in its own way as the
Hamburg show.
George´s band
¨Sunrize¨ was already there waiting for us and they kicked off the night in
their usual way. I sat down during their break and played a couple of tunes
alone on piano and acoustic guitar (no, not at the same time) and then they
joined me for the rest of the show. It works really well and because of the
intimate atmosphere, there is a special connection with the audience.
It was fun
but… I have the distinct feeling I am catching a cold!
