the last victory, being a documentary about the palio in sienna is a wonderful, wonderful film... spski recently bought it on DVD and me, him & gorby just watched it, they'd both been to sienna, i never have... i've been to duino in northeast italy and there were echoes of that place in this film...
having watched it, it has become necessary to know one or two pertinent facts, although i can't share these facts or indeed the questions until you've seen the film...
i taught with nippy today, who had some fantastic news about her son and schooling, i did a dance... i so love teaching with nippy, we want to teach together more... at the end of the lesson we had a jam, only a few students and we pretty much each played an instrument that wasn't our main instrument... i sang, nippy on bass then drums (she told me that she wanted me to form a band, so that she could play drums for me), students: N on keys, B on drums then bass, O on electric guitar & only Y doing what she does... being singing...
not the greatest music ever made but it worked quite afew times and it was great for me to practise microphone technique, the kind of singing/improvising that i would so love to do more of, reminded me of that gig over a year ago with S who now runs little bit of sunshine with M... the improvisation that part of harbour walls
came from...
also good for the students and teachers to do something they're not very good at...
oh and the mentalers... have to be another post...
