Alafia Abakua!
¡Felicitaciones Papa!
This is what is great about music, when you play for the love of it, sometimes it “pays” beyond your expectation. You deserve this wonderful opportunity, and yeah, you do have that certain look, but as a comdean used to say here in the states......”you look marvelous darling, and isn’t better to look good than to feel good?” (comedian Billy Crystal).
Hopefully it will come out here to the states I would like to check it out mi pana!
Suave!
Onile!

Thanks for the continued support and kind words guys!
Just got home, been a busy day/night...
I had a wardrobe check early this morning and photo session at the casting studio, we (musicians, producers, directors etc etc)then headed to the location for the shoot, a park just off the central of the city and spent a few hours rehearsing the ad with several cameras and full dress rehearsal etc.
We got fed well, treated like stars and had loads of fun in the process.
They (marketing) basically mixed up and matched up different musicians from all the bands who auditioned for the gig whose "look" they liked and put us all together into their own band that theyve created. We, (all of us chosen to be in the ad) both musicians and dancers/extras etc have all worked together in the past and get along great. I will try to get some pics taken when we shoot the ad next week on Wednesday.
From there, I headed to rehearsal and joined my band at their reharsal (I was the only one from my band to be chosen for the ad) they had been rehearsing most the day while I was at the TV thing...
Stayed there for about 2 hours, then we all headed for our gig tonight, we played at the College of Fine Arts, it was graduation night, heaps of nice ladies, loads of free wine and beer and good food! The band absoloutely rocked the house also!
I wish I had taken my camera to the gig so I could share some pics!
Been a great week! :laugh:
Again, thanks for the kind words and continued support.
