busy

Sorry it's been a couple days. The past two days have been some of my busiest since i've been on the ship. A combination of practicing, rehearsing, and performing has kept me at the keyboard for about 8-10 hrs each day for the past couple of days. The plus side is that performances have been well received. However, after that much playing, I can start to feel it in my wrists.

Today I went to Gibralter and walked around (took a picture of the rock of Gibralter). It was hot and touristy. Today the band has to take a promotional photo for the "white hot party" in white shirts. Rumor is that there will be some extra buttons unbuttoned on our shirts since it's supposed to be a sexy picture. They wanted to make sure to take the picture while I'm here since the guy I'm subbing for is fairly old and not so much with the young and sexy. I told them that anyone that says "quick, take the sexy picture before Brian leaves" is in a bad situation.

Tonight the showband is repeating the jazz jam that we did for the crew last week. This time we're doing it at one of the bars for the passengers. It remains to be seen if we can capture the atmosphere that we had with the crew for the passengers. Many of the band is skeptical about that. I'll let you know.

PS - we shot a promotional video for the band just now and ended it with a jump freeze! (my idea)
