The song that changed everything

There are some days, some moments that are some kind of magical.
Some moments where you can't explain what is just happening.
That you live something exceptional and only yourself realize.
That you could smile or seem happier and that people around you may see your face changes, but whatever.
So much the better for everyone.

Where yesterday, in front of my tabs booklet, I didn't know "what song to work on".
When my music teacher asked me, Destiny let me turn sheets of one by one.
And I fell on Raggamuffin (Sanne Putseys, 2010).
OK. To play this song, you must "be rhythmed" yourself and enjoy doing bar chords.
It is sure: it wasn't me when I asked him to study Raggamuffin.

"Oh yes, I know that song !", he said, and started to hum the song.
Then I started to do the first notes, and he did the following after he saw the right chords on my score.

"This is a song you even play it funky !".
OK, right. Play it funky. Do you know me, really ?
And he showed me.

It's a story of "ups and downs", of "ternary" thing, of doing it "5 times...
Of trying and doing it successfully, and glimpse things more than more in grey.

It was like Raggamuffin became one of my friends.
The chords didn't sound so perfectly but I did bars like I never did before.
It let enter inexplicable energy into my arms, body and mind, so much that I would have been ready to play like the whole Selah songbook !

Other artists songs came also and all these songs semt to come so well that I made a wish at this moment.
The wish that later I could be able to play like I did during this incredible discovery moment:
Raggamuffin still a bit seems to be one of my friends.

Thank you Thomas, thank you Selah (once more), and Merry Christmas to everyone who read this blog...

PS: After the lesson, Raggamuffin helped me also to become a perfect xylophonist for a jam session.

(Very-first) Pic-of-the-(concert)-Day

Ce n'est sans doute pas la plus belle, mais c'est ma toute première.

Sitting, waiting, wishing

Selah wait

So you got it. Are you fan of Selah Sue ? So you have to be patient. That's the deal.
After she must have made of "dormir" her very first job in 2013, on february 22nd, Sanne told her Facebook fans that "Album 2 (was) gonna be it" ! Like she knew which direction she wanted to give it.

Then we had the Hä.-D. ad released, that was our first gift of 2013.
Sorry. She met Walk Off the Earth in USA last november, they covered that beautiful love song and we got the result on january 15th. Very first gift.
So, two songs released in almost 5 monthes of a year.
Are you happy with that ?

I think I can wait some more weeks myself for more new songs.
Even monthes.
The longer we have to wait, the best new songs will be.
How could it be otherwise ? ("I'll make all of ur waiting worth while")
But major condition: getting some scheduled concerts until the end of 2013.
The best area would be around Rijsel, of course.
Paris or Brussels may suit.

If you "can't wait to play some for u(s), start touring again.. the band, crew, u(s)", then what you're waiting for ? Let's plan a (small) meet-ups here and there ! I know that somewhere in Poland or Belgium, that kind of gifts would be appreciated too.

Oh yes, I forgot that a far-far-away tour will soon start with concerts in La Réunion, USA or Canada...
But after that, I see lots of free spaces in summer for meet-ups we've just talked about. Hehe.

PS: I tried to find what looked like "pinkie[, (?)] kiss(es)" but I only came across this.
