5 X 2 - connecting the blogs

Sunday afternoon and I am happily reading Leah's blog about being tagged, what I didn't know about Leah and admiring her new hair cut. I check out some of Leah's links and tags and then next thing you know my coaching buddy Pete has tagged me - in a valiant effort to get me off my rear end and blogging. Thanks Pete and also for sharing such personal and touching things about yourself.

5 things you don't know about me:

1. I love music and like Pete I have ecclectic taste. Or as my friends say, I listen to that weird world music/electronic fusion/trance stuff. I have the entire collection of the Buddha-Bar series.

2. My favourite DJs on the series are Ravin and Claude Challe (I have many of his other cd's as well).

3. When I get to Paris I will be visiting the actual Buddha Bar itself and cutting loose on the dance floor. Stay tuned for the pics!!! (due in late 2007/ early 2008)

4. The person who has had the most influence in the development of my music tastes, fostering the diverse range of music I listen to, is my mother. When we were kids Mum was a members of the World Record club and exposed us to a diverse range of music at an early age - everything from classical to Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass to the Red Army Choir. At 76 she is till open to hearing new music - rock on Mum.

5. One of my favourite authors is Italo Calvino and I have a great number of his books (happy to share with you Chris Barrow)

Now for the hard part. As a slow starter to the world of blogging I don't have many people to tag - so its not 5 but it's a start (at last Leah and Pete!!!) over to you Sarah Lovett and , Lesley Yasso.

Well done Julie! I too grew up listening to Herb Albert and also Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 (in fact I ordered in a Brasil 66 Best of CD for Dad for Xmas - bring on Xmas morning and dancing to the bossa nova).

Good to see you prompted into more blogging - looking forward to more of your wisdom and some of your great China photos in 2007.
