To cut a story short, the man on the drums is Mr. Swiss about 20 years ago. He was not exactly on a stage, but playing in a group in a local restaurant. There was no room for a stage. I attended many such occasions and was used to seeing Mr. Swiss as the drummer. I suppose he was always on the stage for me more than 50 years. It is probably one of the reasons how I came to understand jazz. The drumming days now belong to the past, but the love of the music remains.

Fiction Writing
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

Always makes me think of an acquaintance who followed her drummer husband (a full time professional) to nearly all his gigs. I wondered if she continued after they had kids but we lost contact …. Music 🎶 has a great importance in my life and I also like jazz.

Music has always been import. ant to me. I went to most of my husband’s gigs, but he was not a professional. I got myself Apple ear buds some time ago and that is perfect. I can listen to my own choice of music wherever I go at home when cleaning etc. I like to listen to the varijious british global stations I have on my iPhone. Some jazz, some soft music, and also classic.
