Well, these things come to an end. Just a few final notes. The last show was essentially mostly just songs from Chantelle Delaney and Thomas Armstrong-Robley fronting the Resident band in the theatre. As for performers, I will probably remember the drummer and guitarist from the resident band, both professional, correct and able to let go when it fits, but never when it didn't, and the lead guitarist from Rhythm Jive, Ivan Cabreros. Rhythm Jive is a covers band and they impressed immensely with a sets of various styles, but I was taken aback when they did Pink Floyd The Wall late on the final night. Daring, I thought. A whole side of an album with a guitar solo that was so correct. Then listening more for the solos, they were all just as on the records. Stunning. I enjoyed this mob. Otherwise, I had my moment of fame with another passenger choir. More a singalong in unison or octaves, but fun. I have done a SATB choir on board before but not with so few practices. Then off at Sydney in a supremely ordered disembarking procedure. This is big business and very professional. Then, of course, a war and closed air space that must have numerous passengers stranded in Sydney. Back to the real world, I guess, and none too hopeful.
