Finally converted to the fluffy side of Sound Cloud. I’ve uploaded some mixes, have a listen if you have a chance.
I like how you can upload them directly into social media apps… comme ca!

I hate 7/8!

During a MAASER music session Sophia mentioned not liking the time signature 7/8 – so we all rallied in to help her discover the joys of playing in such a funky metre. I loved how we just messed around and were really playful, but, at the same time helped a fellow MAASER combat their fear of it. Granted we are out of time, but it was such a laugh!! Great how Sophia becomes more positive about it towards the end! Yay!

Here are the meanderings of our quaver fun time journey:

Eight Random Things About Me

Bobbie — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 21:19:19 +0000

Apologies in advance for this. I was tagged…
I was tagged again, so I’ll cheat by recycling!

1. I was called Roberta up until the age of 18. I honestly thought this was my name until I saw my birth certificate which clearly states Bobbie-Jane (like something out ‘The Waltons”). People from my past and my mum (when I am naughty) still use it.

2. I am allergic to fish. This makes me sad.

3. I speak Japanese and can write some kanji.

4. I sailed from Aberdeen, UK to Trondheim, Norway in the Cutty Sark Tall Ships’ Race ’97. I was the only student that wasn’t sick and made a roast dinner whilst sailing across the North Sea.

5. I used to aspire to be like my private French tutor Isobelle (a bohemian, sensual 20 something with hairy pits, big boobs, blue hair and drove a Citroen). A couple months back, we met randomly at local pub and I could still sing to her the songs she taught me. It was lovely and a bit weird.

6. I wanted to travel to James Bond Island, Phuket, Thailand around the disastrous tsunami time ’03 but because it was so far south went to Koh Phangan instead. I was kayaking at the time…

7. I have tiny ears, no, really.

8. I was premature by 2 months so an incubator was my first home.

What Matters to Me- A Fiesty BME :)

I’d like to call the not so clever speaker and internationally acclaimed scientist Dr. Watson an idiot for saying that genetically blacks were less intelligent then whites. Fortunately, whilst looking for black history music blogs, I found an article that quashed his nonsense beautifully. Inane statements like his won’t help multi-cultural relations at all, but, it is encouraging to see the outrage it has caused.

Random. Catchy. I like how it’s in a pop style and has weird references to classical music; especially minimalism. If I had that kind of voice I would not have problems getting young people’s attention in the classroom. Thanks to Roann for the link!!

I will be humming this for ages

New blog- yippee!!

Thanks to the kind services of Monsieurs Christophe Clarke et Antonio Gould, I have been hooked up with a new blog and nice new template- a lot better than my old Blogger account; although it did help to generate a good amount of community music work and was extremely easy to use- so credit is due. I recommend blogging to any artist who wishes to showcase their work

So, you can now find me here- hopefully I will have enough time to put lots of fancy content up for your perusal, as well as loads of typos.
