Streaming Back from the Seychelles
The jetlag and shock of returning to work all merge into a disturbing sense of alienation on a first day back - not to mention sorting out significant emails from amongst a sea ghastly spam.
However we are back now and normal service is being resumed.
By the way - the Seychelles are fabulous - the people are friendly, the Creole food is delicious, the scenery spectacular and the pace of life adapted to the soaring temperatures and humidity. The opportunities to observe the wildlife in the air , on land and under the sea represent a unique combination in my experience. The local music has a big French influence and there are lots of parallels with Cajun to my ears even if the accordion is not much in evidence.
As a reminder of those happy holidays today's streaming sample is our percussion arrangement of the Johann Strauss Kinderspiel Polka with those sunny steel drums shining through.
