red sky at night...

Wednesday 14th March 2007

10:18 a.m. GMT Monday night was fairly uneventful, except for later on when a lively group of Liverpudlians came into the bar and were requesting several numbers. Also there was a group of Germans sat nearby who stayed for most of the evening, and were making requests too.

Last night was slightly busier and the audience was more receptive. I played The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack for the first time which went well, although I think it was lost on a few people.

Mathias, who was the resident pianist on the Pride of Rotterdam for most of the second half of last year, has been on-board for the last couple of nights, to see his girlfriend who also works on this ship. Was good to see him and catch up, since I hadn’t seen him since my last contract on the York last November.

Last night when I was out on deck I noticed that the sea was almost completely calm, I have only seen it like that once before.

Apparently Peter from Live Business might be making a journey on this ship at some point early next week, which will be handy as it will give me a chance to talk with him about what work they want to offer me once this contract is over.

11:02 a.m. There was an amazing sunset on Monday night, and I took a few photos. I had forgotten to turn the flash off for one of them and I got this rather apocalyptic looking shot as a result. (More on my web-space).
