The infernal heat in Madrid made me forget to mention that I played the ReacTable yesterday! After we had performed the first encore of the evening, Oceania, and had just started the second one, Declare Your Independence, Damian yelled: “JÓNAS! COME PLAY THE REACTABLE!” So I stood up and went to the center of the stage and began hammering the ReacTable under Damian’s direction. I must confess feeling somewhat self-conscious jumping up and down with Damian - and DANCING, but it sure was fun!
Archive for July 14th, 2007Our concert in Bilbao went well. The audience was most enthusiastic and it was great having flamenco dancers supporting us. I took the photo below from behind the stage. I didn’t sleep too well on the ride from Bilbao to Madrid tonight. The road was so bumby! I don’t think I fell asleep untill five… I have had a pleasant day nonetheless. My friend, Jón Egill Bergþórsson, who worked with me on twelve TV shows on classical music in Iceland last year, is in Spain at the moment and we met today. We walked around the center of the city and I stood on the shield in the sidewalk which apparently is the very heart of Spain. I think there is a story to it and I vaguely recall Jón Egill telling it to me, but it is completely gone now. The heat was so terrible (37 degrees Celsius I believe) that it simply scorched my brain. I think I’ll just have a mindless evening and watch a DVD…
