Thanks, folks!

My day didn't start out too well; my rusty old Mercedes subject to a parking ticket as well as a complete petrol theft. I wouldn't even have noticed it until the weekend if it were not for an unfortunate incident last night - after moving my stereo amp a speaker wire shortcut blew the left-channel fuse (as a consequence: only mono LPs the rest of the night), and I had to pass by an electronics firm to get a new one this morning...

Anyway, after that the day could only get better! :)

BTW, don't hesitate to serve yourselves a big slice of this delicious birthday cake!

Happy birthday to a wonderful guy -- the kind who brings the cake to his own party!

But -- to counteract that cigarette-smoking skullhead, and your car and stereo troubles -- better wash the cake down with a little "water of life"

my dear friend,

you know i'm always wishing you the best but let me emphasize that even more on your birthday.

life is a wonderful gift but can be very common without true and nice friends

:party: Happy Birthday man!

Hope the day finished better than it started.

Yes, it did!

But yesterday night was the greatest in a long, long time! Sometimes life takes unexpected twists, and this year it has taken me back to Stockholm again in less than happy circumstances. But it has allowed me to make an old dream a reality; I've managed to put together a jazz group with some very skilled musicians. Three horns + rhythm, with a kind of big band-ish approach (extensive arrangements - allthough with generous solo space - which makes the most of the horn frontline). So yesterday was the first time we tried out a few of my arrangements. And it went very well! It such a joy when something turns out to sound better than you thought! I feel confident that the happy memories of yesterday will last until our next rehearsal in two weeks. :) But as I'm no fast writer, I'll have to invest quite a few nights in writing some more arrangements... It will be fun, though!

Thanks once again for all the congrats!
