How are you? How was your weekend? Who came for Live Your Dreams? Wasn't it Great? I absolutely loved meeting some of my wonderful blog readers and I can't wait till you tell me what has changed in your life because you attended the event :)
If you weren't able to attend it, check out some pictures here, follow @lydafrica on twitter or search for the hashtag #LiveUrDreams and read the tweets. The DVDs are on sale too so if you want to get one send an email to mail@liveyourdreamsafrica.com.
Oh yeah, I recorded a little bit of my rehearsal yesterday and decided to put up the video on YouTube. I did this because I met someone at Live Your Dreams who told me 'Great Job on the Sax, I think I saw a video of you on Instagram playing on your bed'. When he said it, I realised that you never know who is going to watch what you put on the internet so make it worth their while, check out the video here.
My birthday is exactly 2 weeks away and a special blog reader said I should make a birthday wishlist post so she knows if there is any thing she can afford. Well, number 1 on my list is that you should register to attend Michael W Smith's first concert in Nigeria which is at 6pm on my birthday, link here, more details here.
My article got published on the Naked Convos for the first time. Check it out here and leave a comment too :)
On Sunday, I went to church then stopped by at Rele Art Gallery for the Opening of the Strip Exibition. Toyosi Faridah Kekere-Ekun, who went to my uni was exhibiting, I mentioned her in this blogpost.
After that, I went to Muson Centre for a free Gospel concert called Worship with Gbenga Adenuga. It was really really good, a very exhilarating experience, I was very impressed. It was well organised, you had to register in advance, small chops were provided at the end and there was a section for children. I know his cousin, Wale Adenuga, as I have seen him in concert once, they have similar voices, strong and soothing. Check out his blog, facebook page, gallery of pictures from the last WWGA and mark down July 12 in your calendar, Muson Centre, 5pm to 8pm, the next #WWGA Concert.
Hope you all had a Great Weekend!

Good to hear you're performing more.. I have to agree a bit with taking out the music.. I absolutely love it but every time you refresh your page the music starts and it can be distracting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne, I get it, it doesn't play automatically anymore
DeleteWell done Tuke, nice to hear you play.
ReplyDeleteLady with a lot of skills!
Thank you :) :D
DeleteWell done Tuke! You'll def go places. The first time I opened your blog on my laptop, it took me a few seconds to realise where the music was coming from(covers face). I like it, its calm and soothing. It's like a music card but in this case, a music blog lol. I suggest you leave it. If people don't like it they can mute the sound.

Thank you Grace, Amen o! Loool, thanks for your feedback, seems like the other team won :(
DeleteHey cuz. Well done on the progress. I think keep the music player but maybe not on auto play. When I read your blog, I'm normally listening to a podcast or an interview so it's not really feasible for me to just mute my laptop
ReplyDeleteThanks for providing another perspective in this music analysis, it's not on auto play anymore but the music player is still there :)
Deletehappy birthday in advance, i'm already going for the show as its my church organising it so see you there. good job tuke. i missed u playing.x

ReplyDeletenice...
Asin, very nice :)
DeleteAm usually at work when i read your blog,most times i forget to use the mute button ,it Usually takes me unawares ,luckily i have never been caught before,so i think it should not be on auto play too if possible.Tuke i just couldn't help saying i am so proud of you while reading this post,i know you want a new camera because you have mentioned it in one of your posts better add it to your wish list oh,meanwhile i am reminding you because you know our agreement when you mentioned it lol.
ReplyDeleteOh okay, I've put off the auto play now so you won't be caught unawares.
DeleteAwwww, Thank you :) iBlush :D
Loool, It's number 3 on the list, our agreement has not been forgotten, don't worry!
Great mi lady! Keep doing you! You are going places!
ReplyDeleteThank you Amaka :)
DeleteI love how passionate you are about playing the sax, it's very inspiring when one choses to nurture their God given talent.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Awwww, Thank you Nedoux!
DeleteNice one Tuke... Never opened your blog on my system, I always use my phone cos it's handy. I always admire pple who can play any instrument at all, and then a lady playing the sax... That blows my mind. I really love what you do. Keep it up and more grace! As for registering for the Michael. W. Smith Concert, I already did as its my church. I hope we could run into each other. I would be so happy. Happy birthday in advance dear...
ReplyDeleteThank you Comfy Pearl :)
