Went to my first music concert last night in Bangalore City. It was part of a bigger festival called Times Bangalore Fest, featuring artists, musicians and food from Banagalore. Read about it in a local newspaper, picked up free tickets, and last night, I found myself three rows from the stage of a band known for their fusion of musical genres. The singer, Shubha Mudgal was powerful and she was accompanied by both musicians classically trained in traditional Indian instruments, and jazz artists. It's too bad I can't upload video footage on this...it would be nice to share the music with you. A picture will have to do.

As well, I start teaching classes on Monday, so I have been preparing my new art room for the year. On Friday, I finished off my preparations with a large painting in the style of Norval Morrisseau, painted on the side of a bookshelf in the room. In the middle of the painting, I mounted a full length mirror for full freaky effect! Hope you and my students like it....
