I went on a tour yesterday - "Nice and Cannes on your own" which was nice.  I like these on your own tours - they basically just give me a free ride to neat places where I can do my own thing.  I did a little bit of shopping in Nice, but enjoyed Cannes a lot more.  I visited the place where they hold the big film festival and took a picture on the red carpet.  Along the sidewalks in from they have handprints of movie stars, like they do in Hollywood.  I recognized almost none of the names.  :-)  I enjoyed a leisurely lunch and was proud of myself for ordering in French.  (well, mostly in French)  Then we had quite an easy night - all we did were play-ons for the shows, then we left and didn't have to come back for the play-offs.  Woohoo!  

Tonight is our last show with Elliot Finkel - I really hope I get to work with him again someday.  He told me he wants me to come with him to his next ship, and I was flattered.   Despite already having played three different shows with him, he's still pulling out new things for us - I think he likes this band.  We have 3 new songs tonight, instead of a repeat of the show we did last cruise, which is really nice for us.  Off to rehearsal!
