Over a thirty five year career as a professional guitarist I have often been in the privileged position to study some of the world's finest musicians up close and personal; I'm talking about being in the same room as these guys often it's the mixing room or at a recording session.Recently I found myself sitting in between two of the jazz world's musical heavy weighs; Jazz trumpeter and all round multi- instrumentalist, James Morrison and one of the finest jazz guitarists of all time, George Golla and the first thing that comes to mind is these guy's look VERY normal, I mean if you came across them in the street you won't even look twice.But there is something VERY different about the way they live, the thing that has allowed these guys to reach the top of their craft is their philosophy.At the age of nineteen I was fortunate enough to be hanging out with another top flight musician flugelhorn player Bob Venier, I'm sure you have heard Bob's playing he's the world's most 'heard' trumpet/flugelhorn player you probably don't know the name but unless you have just arrived on the planet you will have heard his playing e.G., Little River Band's hit "Reminiscing" features an extended Bob Venier flugelhorn solo.Side note. According to Albert Goldman's biography, John Lennon named "Reminiscing" as one of his favorite songs.It was Bob who introduced me to a life changing philosophy it's simple but I now know that this exact same philosophy is what makes the difference between the good players and the best players.Here's Bob's philosophy."If the phone rings, I go and play.If it doesn't ring, I practice!".Thirty four years latter this simple philosophy is one of the most important things I have learned about music, I couldn't grasp the full significance of these words at the time when I first heard this philosophy but I now know all the world's top musicians (not just guitarists) live by this exact same philosophy.If you are truly serious about being a musician read and take onboard this philosophy; you see it's easy to keep going when things are going well, everything is in flow and life is a breeze you don't really need much of a philosophy to keep motivated but it's when things are going pear shaped that's when you need a solid philosophy to fall back on that's what separates the professionals it's their ability to keep going no matter what.When I'm listening to the top players these days I can hear in their playing all their life's experiences that's what they bring to the table all the times the phone didn't ring all the gigs they didn't get and how they have never lost their passion for playing music and how much they love playing it!
A close-up and personal view of a Humpback Whale in full breach will take your breath away!The sheer majesty of a 52 foot, 50 ton creature leaping clear out of the ocean is something that simply cannot be described in words.But I can tell you how it makes you feel.Goose-bumps rise all over your body, your heart pounds with the excitement, your eyes widen in awe and amazement, you feel humble and small - yet privileged that, like this whale, you are a part of something remarkable and important.You are a living creature on this wonderful planet - and being alive is a joy! You will return to your home and your job and your everyday life, inspired and renewed by what you have seen.And the memory of it will stay with you forever.The humpback whale is a magnificent and fascinating creature.It uses complex, cooperative feeding techniques.It sings the most amazing, beautiful and haunting songs.And it is one of the great acrobatic entertainers of the ocean, often leaping (breaching) clear out of the water.I know that Dolphins leap clear of the water too - but dolphins are not 52 feel long, and they don't weigh 50 tons!The sight and sound of a humpback in full breach is incredible! Everybody should see it at least once in their lifetime.And these days its not difficult to arrange.Humpbacks are creatures of habit - they are fairly easy to find.You can see them in several places around the world -and at all times of the year.The best places I know of are listed below.If you know any other great spots - send me an email!Alaska.Huge numbers of Humpbacks live in Alaska.The majority of them migrate south for part of the year - to Hawaii, California, Mexico etc.But a substantial minority stay in Alaska all year round.Alaska has several fabulous humpback watching cruises on offer.Australia.Each year from late July through to early November, humpback whales arrive in Hervey Bay - 300km north of Brisbane.There is no better place to enjoy their acrobatic antics than from a whale-watching cruise in these warm, clear, protected waters.California.From late April to early December, large numbers of Humpbacks spend the summer feeding off the coast of California.They can be seen from the shore, from the highway, from lodges and hotels around Monterey Bay.This generation of whales has never been hunted by man here (since whaling ended in these waters) so they have no fear of us.Some of them are very curious about boats, and will spend hours mooching around and even gently brushing against boats in the area.This provides amazing opportunities for people to get very close indeed to these majestic mammals.Best idea - book a boat trip with a knowledgeable local whale-watching skipper.And take plenty of film for your camera!Hawaii.Around 4,000 to 5,000 humpback whales - two-thirds of the North Pacific population spend the winter in Hawaii.They migrate from Alaska, a 3,000 mile swim! They can be seen from most of the islands in Hawaii - both from the shore and from the numerous boat trips available.Great tip! Join the Hawaii Humpback Whale volunteer program.Every year in Hawaii, volunteers gather to count the humpback whales for a scientific project to help preserve this endangered species.Anyone can volunteer, the atmosphere is friendly and great fun, and there is a real buzz in the air as the count gets underway.Volunteers get to see the whales - they provide a vital service, and they have a fabulous time too!Iceland.Iceland is the fastest growing whale-watching location in the world.It is a stunning and logical place to watch some of the best Humpback Whale antics on the planet - But I personally recommend you Don't go there! Why? Because Iceland has just renewed its policy of killing whales for profit.I cannot recommend a location where such a policy exists.I have started a petition on my website, objecting to Iceland's official whaling policy.I would love to visit Iceland - But not until the Killing Ends!Ireland.The West Cork area of Ireland is gaining popularity as a place for spotting Humpback and Minke whales.Humpbacks are not as common here as in some of the other destinations on this list - but if you happen to be in Ireland at the right time, take a boat trip in West Cork - there's a good chance of seeing some action!Maine.The coast of Maine sees its share of Humpbacks from May through October.The Bar Harbour area has some good vantage points onshore, and some very well organised boat trips to get you close to the action.Massachusetts.The World Wildlife Foundation reckons Gloucester MA is one of the top five places in the world for whale watching.Gloucester is on the southern shore of the rocky Cape Ann Peninsula - which is close to two important summer feeding areas for the whales.No other New England port has closer access to so many humpback whales.Whale watching is popular now all over the world - but in Gloucester Massachusetts it has been popular for decades.Knowledgeable local skippers will take you to the action.South Africa.I have no personal experience of whale-watching in South Africa - but I hear it's superb! If you have been there and would like to tell me more about it - please send me an email.Tonga.In Tonga you can actually swim alongside the Humpbacks!Visit this wonderful Island Kingdom December through February for the swim of your life!Forget about all of these Sea-World aquarium places with preforming killer whales! A killer whale splashing around in a swimming pool bears no comparison to the sight of a humpback leaping from the open ocean!

N is for Nou Camp.FC Barcelona's incredible stadium is one of the biggest stadiums in Europe and has seen some amazing nights of football over the years.Also, huge pop concerts (the likes of U2) have also filled this amazing space.If you have the chance to see a a game, then I can highly recommend, and if not, the stadium tour is well worth a visit.Barça is more than just a club - indeed that it the official motto of the club, like Glasgow Celtic - it's a way of life.One of the most glamorous clubs in European history, Barcelona has always attracted big name players.O is for Olympics.Not since the triumph that was Sydney has the Olympics seen such a marvellous Olympic Games as Barcelona in 1992.Records broken, a fantastic reception from the locals and the amazing backdrop of the Catalan capital made the games such memorable ones.Who can boast a better view from the Olympic Diving boards, for example? You'd be hard pressed to find an equal, I can guarantee you!P is for Pata Negra.Iberian cured hams are some of the finest the world has to offer, and no trip to Barcelona is complete without sampling the acorn-fed, black hoofed variety, which is the most exquisite.Featured on BBC's Saturday kitchen amongst many others, this versatile meat is enjoyed in chorizos (spicy sausage), as well as simply cut of the leg in speciality tapas, and the art of carving the leg is another joy to be seen.Q is for Quatre Gats.1897 saw the birth of "4 cats" - spawned from Parisian Cabaret by Pere Romeu, a waiter in Paris who wanted to re-create the piano-lounge café bar in Barcelona.The privileged location nowadays just off Portal del Angel in the Gothic Quarter, plus the fame of being a favourite haunt of the young Picasso means that this is one of the main attractions featured in the guide books of today and is worth a mention, even if prices are hiked up a little for prosperity.R is for Raval.The central neighbourhood of the Raval is one of the most culturally diverse locations on the planet.A recent census noted that for square metres, the Raval had more nationalities registered as residents than any other place on the planet of the same size.No surprise then, that this vibrant barrio in central Barcelona has a wealth of restaurants, bars, shops and languages being heard as well as some of the city's best sights, including the oldest church in Barcelona, Sant Pau del Camp, the city's Opera House, Liceu, and the Modern art museums of MACBA and the CCCB.S is for Sagrada Familia.Previously mentioned, the masterpiece of Antoni Gaudi and "the people's Cathedral" has a special place in every Barcelona heart.Work has been ongoing for 125 years, and is still along way from completion, but the funds are solely from donations and profits from other Gaudi works in the city, meaning that the original wish of the Cathedral being for the people is coming true, slowly but surely - no corporation will finish it in 5 or 10 years for the sponsorship deals, etc.T is for Tibidabo.Towering over Barcelona and looking down to the Mediterranean sea, this mountain is a natural border for the city, and houses Norman Foster's Communications Tower, and the wonderful Sacred Heart church blessing the city from atop.Recent additions have been the fantastic Hotel Florida and the renovation of the theme park with brand new rollercoaster ride - much to the annoyance of the locals who prefer to keep the woodland and surrounding forests free of the rollercoaster and keep it as home for the Iberian wild boars.U is for UNESCO Heritage sites.Barcelona boasts 9 sites of cultural importance as deemed by UNESCO.These include Casa Mila, Sagrada Familia, Casa Viçenc, Palau Güell, Park Güell, Colonia Güell, Palau de la Musica Catalana, Hospital Sant Pau, and Casa Batllo.Unsurprisingly, 8 are from Gaudi, and see letter "D" for the other!V is for Villa Olympica, or the Olympic Village.The two towers visible from the sky were the buildings that housed the athletes during the Olympic Games, and the surrounding area now boasts some of the city's best nightclubs and restaurants, as well as the city's Casino.The towers are now the 5 Star Arts hotel and an insurance company office block, but the area continues to thrive and is a tourist hot spot.W is for Water.There are various reasons for including water to the list.First and foremost is the Mediterranean Sea, of course.Barcelona has an extensive coastline, from the comings and goings of the Port, then the beaches stretching from the old fisherman's village of Barceloneta to the Forum building.Also at the top of Las Ramblas, you have the Fountains of Canaletes - legend has it that if you drink from the fountains you will one day return to Barcelona.And finally the Magic Fountains at Montjüic - this fantastic light and sound display is un-missable, and the water jets and spurts, dancing to the themes played.X is for Museu de Xocolata - the Chocolate Museum in el Borne is a great place to visit, with fantastic chocolate sculptures, history, and creative workshops - and of course plenty to test, try and buy!Y is for Yachts and boats.Barcelona harbour is one of the most sought after places in Europe to dock your boat - recently the residents who had lived here for many years were forced out due to a huge hike up in prices.A stroll around Port Vell, crossing the bridge to Maremagnum or walking around to Barceloneta, you can imagine which boat you'd buy when you win the lottery!Z is for Zoo - the obvious choice for the letter Z, but the Barcelona Zoo is a great day out.Located in the "garden of Barcelona", La Cuitadella Park, the city zoo is fairly big and has those great little buggies to get around on if you don't fancy walking.Until recent years "snowflake" the albino Gorilla was the main attraction, but despite not being there now, it's still a great family day out.
