So Jill’s parents are visiting from Sydney and because of that, I’m having a long weekend starting from errrrrrm, now.
Just to clarify, I’m having a long weekend with them, not because of them.
As you may have guessed/hoped, this means this is the last post of the week … but wait, there’s more.
You see while I’m off to enjoy 4 days of family time, I thought I’d give you an additional gift on top of blog quietness.
Well, I say ‘I’, but it’s really Hiromi Uehara.
“And who is Hiromi Uehara?”, I hear you ask.
Well she is someone who – in 6 minutes – is going to inject you with a sense of pure joy.
Someone you’ll be in utter awe of for their talent, dexterity, showmanship and audacious, musical cheekiness.
Someone you’ll watch with liberal doses of wonder, amazement, fascination and smiles.
I know that sounds like overkill, but Hiromi Uehara pulls off some of the most amazing and emotional musicianship I’ve witnessed in my – and judging by the mile-wide-smiles of the musicians watching her – life.
It’s breathtaking.
Please watch it.
You won’t regret it.
In fact I’ll say it will make your weekend. Even if yours doesn’t start for 2 more days.

Comment by Lee Hill March 22, 2018 @ 9:10 amNot bad. But can she play chopsticks?
Comment by Bazza March 22, 2018 @ 9:51 amI’ve just thought that sounds like I was making a racist slur. That wasn’t my intention. I was just using the only song I can play on the piano as a pathetic comparison. I am very stupid and embarrassed .
