It's strange the nuggets of experiences and information you pick up whilst travelling the world.
And let me digress here to say that I hope you don't feel we are being boastful or ostentatious in bringing you our travels. We are only too well aware of how fortunate we are to be able to enjoy the lifestyle we do. We are both reasonably healthy and comfortably off to be able to travel and enjoy a few of the finer points in life.
I'm happy to say those things because neither of us was born with a silver spoon in our mouth (what a strange phrase that is). We both come from working class backgrounds but worked hard and invested wisely to give us the standard of living we now enjoy.
But back to Beven Addensall. Apparently he was famous in Australia as a singing youngster on some popular television programme the name of which escapes me.
Now he's listed as an international singing star. Now how do you define the phrase "international singing star?"
I guess if you sing on a cruise ship to a multi national audience that qualifies you to be called an international singing star.
His show was half decent (another strange phrase as it would suggest that the show was half indecent which it wasn't).
Modern technology is incredible when it comes to music. Beven had a film of him singing "How Great Thou Art" as a boy and was able to duet with his younger self.
One of my favourite singer songwriters David Ford builds up one of his songs by triple tracking his own voice and then through technology adding instruments one by one until he has a full song. Incidentally David lives next to our eldest son in Eastbourne. If you've never heard of him, do seek him out and listen to some of his songs.
The photographic gallery today is of Bali which I talked about yesterday.
