BBQ, movie stars, and saxophone

We had our first BBQ of the year yesterday. Got to try out the new super fancy B&Q industrial model grill which occupies a fireproof corner of the yard. Good turnout: Judy, Xiao Li, Monica, her sister, Jennifer and her kid, Juergen, Christian & Inger, Marc, our friend Angie, and the whole script and film crew from the Meteor Garden series, and a new friend, Paul Chun Pui.

I had an unusual request from Angie, which was to show Paul, who is currently filming some cameos for her new TV series, how to play the new theme song on saxophone, and make it look like real for film. Paul played a great role as a jazz saxophone player in the HK film, C'est La Vie, Mon Cheri (Xin Bu Liao Qing), which was a major hit across Asia a few years back. I remember having to play Xin Bu Liao Qing every night, because it had became the defacto sad saxophone love song.

Anyway, I though this was all pretty cool, as I'll be providing the real music backing, while Paul syncs his expressions and fingers to my melody. I guess this'll be a news release in a few days, and there'll be a pic of me in my greasy BBQ overhauls, with a big greasy grin, and a greasy arm around Paul's neck.
