Hey hey!
As this is my first entry into our blog I thought I would give you a small glimpse into one of the days of being Steven Gary Jacobson.
Mondays, Mondays, Mondays (I wrote this on Monday) not the favourite day of the week for most people, the idea that you have no more weekend left, the drudgery of traffic and back to seeing the colleague that you would prefer not to see… ever!
I on the other hand don’t mind my Mondays, too much. I start work at 8am in Melkbos Strand (only on a Monday, as every day I am in a different part of
This months CD is by a band from the late 60’s called The Turtles, best known for their single, ‘Happy Together’.

Let me know what you think.
Now that I have my window open, the crisp morning air flowing in and the music blasting, I get that ‘holiday’ sensation. That ‘no worry in the world’ feeling, which is even further emphasized by my first stop, Melkbos beachfront. The smell and sound of the ocean, the cold breeze and the random people either fishing or taking a jog. I get out the car, sit on the bonnet, stare out at the waves and wonder away for a moment …
Then about fifteen minutes later reality sets in and off to work I go…

Thanks for reading, more to come soon. Have a great week and I hope to see you at our next gig or whenever I see you…
Ciao
