A Janis Ian anniversary
Tomorrow marks my first year anniversary of seeing Janis Ian “live” in concert. Yes, it was a year ago on 26 February 2005 that I saw her “live” and “in the flesh” .
So many things have happened since then. And at least two things to look forward to.
Janis Ian “live” online chat
Held in conjunction with the release of her 24th album, Folk is the New Black, the “live” online chat will take place at 3:00 p.m. Central on Saturday, 25 February 2006. Translated to local time, it’s at 5:00 a.m., Sunday, 26 February 2006. Not only will I be there for the chat, I’m actually one of the moderators.
The chat will be held here:

UK Living Room Concert
Back in December 2004, I’d written about my wish list. On it was the wish to be able to afford a Living Room Concert. One reason was to be able to see her singing in person, while the other reason was to be able to contribute to what I think is a really worthy cause.
Well, part of that wish came true when she came to Singapore for that concert on 26 February 2005 and, Singapore being only a 30-minute flight away, of course I made sure to be in the audience that evening.
Now, the rest of that wish is coming true.
I’ll be flying to England to attend a Living Room Concert on Easter Sunday which is being held to celebrate fellow Rudie Rowy’s 60th birthday. She has 20 tickets for her guests and the remainder will be taken by UK Rudies, as well as three honorary UK Rudies – Anna (Dublin), Marjan (Netherlands) and me (Malaysia).
I confirmed my attendance when I bought a ticket at the recent MAS Travel Fair.
Anna from Dublin had her own Living Room Concert back in January 2000 and wrote about it here.
