Guess what ?..............sitting in my local Starbucks today (now there's a funny thing!)...........I could see this couple giving me the eye............so I just carried on sipping me coffee, eating my fruit toast, and minding me own.

The lady got up to go to the loo, and while she was a way, the gentleman sidled up to me and said............'Excuse me. I hope you don't mind, but I've been meaning to ask you about your car for some time now. I always see it in the car park and up until now never saw who it belonged to. (My haircut could have been just a small giveaway). So when you pulled up today I thought I'd ask'.....................

A very interesting conversation ensued about why I did it and how it was done, and they were an extremely nice couple. We were talking mainly on the fact that so many people never get to know, or hear, the full talent of a singer other than what the radio stations play.
When the lady returned they both asked if she lived up to expectation in concert, as many performers they have seen were dull, and had no personality when they saw them live, which put them off.........well, my enthusiasm took off jet propelled, and by the time we had finished they were both wishing there was a kd concert in the UK they could go to tomorrow.

However as part of the conversation they enthused about a guy called Ola Onabule (George Benson style of music) and how he was such a great singer and so little known.

He only lives up the road from where I live, in Bedford, and frequently performs at Cleo Laine and John Dankworths 'The Stables' (good place for donkeys like me to hang out!!) in Wavendon.

I must admit they do have some well known, and some not so well known, names performing there, plus, it's a treat, on ocassions, not to have to travel miles to go and see a good act.

Catch this video of Ola performing 'The Picture'

So there ya go, two more kd converts left the building...............Hmmmm ! just waiting to see the billboard at Cleo and Johnny's place saying, 'for one night only, International and Grammy award winning superstar, kd lang performs live at the Wavendon Stables..............pitching my tent, and camping out for a ticket in my dreams as we speak guys!!

Thank you Wendy.

Let's just say the trip on the M25, M3 and A303 proved to be quite an interesting trip last weekend............especially the last part of the journey (one and a half hours to do three miles) ..........standstill traffic with windows wound down........catch my drift there.

Erm no!........Starbucks haven't been in touch..................but, depending on who's making my coffee, sometimes they give me a freeby.
