Talking about the blues

Image
I was going to talk about jazz today but felt like talking about the blues.  Jazz and blues are often joined together and there are some in list that are jazz clubs who are also blues clubs. Enjoy   Paris Cat Jazz Club www.pariscat.com.au Hume Blues Club www.humebluesclub.com Bird's Basement  birdsbasement.com Transit Rooftop Cocktail Bar www.transporthotel.com.au The Purple Emerald Lounge Bar purpleemerald.com.au Atrium Bar www.crownmelbourne.com.au Bar 303 303.net.au The Butterfly Club thebutterflyclub.com Uptown Jazz Cafe www.uptown.co.au

I wish l could paint like this

 If only l could paint like The French Impressionists.  Thank you to Boston's Fine Arts Museum for allowing these paintings to come to Australia.  I took some short videos inside the gallery because it looked like a salon in the late 1800s. I've also taken photos of some of the paintings.  Please look at the whole video to see what a wonderful exhibition it is. If any of you are coming to Melbourne this Winter it is well worth seeing. I have never been disappointed by The Winter Masterpiece Exhibition that's held every year.  How lucky are we here in Melbourne to have such a wonderful arts scene.  It may be cold but there's still so much to see.

I've read the latest Peter James book, release date October 21.

I'm a reviewer with Netgalley. That means l read books before the publishing date.  I think Peter James is a good crime writer and this book is another good one. If you're a Peter James fan it is definitely worth the wait.
