last night

i went to my first jazz festival concert of the year. does this mean i'm still hip? not so much, because the performer was robin gibb of the bee gees and the audience was over 40. it might mean i'm lucky because the tickets were given as gifts and they were closer to the Harbiye Acikhava stage than i've ever been (as someone who performed twice at the Jazz Festival and had free pass to all concerts two years in a row). istanbul philharmonia orchestra was accompanying him and the richness of sound was inspiring. watching this skinny man and his hyper back-up vocals, i smiled and thought Stayin' Alive is a genius song.
