Muaic - Day 2

Last night's James Taylor tribute performance was excellent!  We had front row seats and he had the "look" as well as the mannerisms down pat.    He sang several of James' main hits, but the concert was over so quickly.  That is probably because these concerts are allocated 1 hour, and we're used to a full 2 1/2 hour concert.  Fortunately all future concerts start at 10:00pm, not 10:30, which was kinda late for us. 

We enjoyed breakfast with Chris Nole, who was John Denver's keyboard artist from 1994 until 1997 when John died.  Chris has become a good friend and we had a great conversation about his career and the possibility of any future concerts with him and Mack Bailey. 

After breakfast we got off the ship and walked around the Cozumel shopping area. When it started to get hot and muggy we headed back to the ship.

I thought I'd talk about the ship a bit today. Once nice thing about NCL is they have little fish in the carpet that they are always swimming toward the from the of ship.  That helps when finding your way around.

Speaking of getting around, by today we are pretty good at finding where we need to go.  If going for food, we turn right out of our cabin, if going to a show, turn left;  unless heading to a specialty restaurant, then we go left.  It's nice that nearly all our shows are in the same room on desk 6.   

The lower right picture is our cabin.  It's a bit smaller than we imagined but has a spacious bathroom and nice balcony.  A few things took some getting used to, like the closet very close to one side of the bed, but we have adapted. 

This afternoon we had a Name That Tune session.  15 short song segments were played and you needed to guess the song title and who sang it.  The first round was songs from the late 50's so we did not do too good, but in the second round, covering the early 60's, we came in second!  

After that was a sing-along session with mostly recognizable tunes, but a few new ones. 

The last event for the afternoon was where Jim and Ann Curry covered their history and how they got into singing John Denver music.   It was very insightful and we learned some interesting details of their background.  They played several John Denver songs along with one of their own compositions. 

We had a simple turkey dinner in the buffet tonight, so no food pictures today.

Tonight is a Carole King concert, but more about that tomorrow.
