I saw a good show  Frankston Arts Centre is one of the Suburban Arts Centres here in Melbourne.   Like the other Suburban Centres they put on a series of shows they call Morning Melodies. Unlike the other Centres Frankston Arts Centre has an eating area in the Centre. This means that with this program there are always two shows: one at 10.30am and then at 1.30pm. The other Centres only have one performance.  Whenever l go to Frankston Arts Centre l think one day l will actually book to have lunch there before l see a show as l like the 1.30pm performances. I haven't done that yet. So what did l see? The Syncopators. They are a seven piece jazz band and they are so good. I have seen them before and they never disappoint. This performance included songs from the 1920's and 1930's. I love that early jazz. If you would like to hear them there have been some recordings done at Bird's Basement here in Melbourne. Bird's is a jazz club in the CBD. I've been there and it...

History authors please

I have been reading more history books lately. I'm interested in history and l think history teaches us lessons. It's also interesting to see how often history is repeated. As this is a relatively new genre for me to read l don't know a lot of authors in this field. So, if you are interested in these books please let me know some authors. And, please leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you.

My movie club is changing

-
 It's been a frustrating year for all of us who want to see films that are different. What l call franchise films are booming and, as l keep saying, if you like them that's okay; see them and enjoy them. Last year l saw  12/13 films all different and all so good. I had similar hopes for this year but l've been left sorely disappointed. Month after month trying to find a film for my club to see. I'm seeing a film this Saturday. It looks good and l have my fingers crossed. Next year thing will change. I'm adding an extra cinema to our roster. This one is a little further away but has more than 1 type of cinema. There is also a possibility of an independent cinema may be reopening. ( I have my fingers and toes crossed). So l will let you know what the film was like next Monday. This is the first film my club has seen in months. I also hope that next year will be better.
