Indian men
Travelling with a group of male musicians means - besides a few other things of lesser importance - looking at and commenting on people, more particularly women. Currently, we are a group of eight, three more than what I am used to. This results in a cumulative percentage of women talks. It is not 3/8 (37,5%) more. The total amount of interactions in a group of eight is much more, also the ones of this kind. With Calefax we are five, so the number of possible interactions is 1+2+3+4=10. The Tony Overwater Trio added however, interactions accumulate to 1+2+3+4+5+6+7= 28. An increase of 64,3%! I don’t know why men do it, but recently my wife has had a couple of days out in Paris with seven other women, and she told me they do the same. Nothing to worry about…! Surely the talking prevents the acting. We are getting our share of female beauty here, but funnily enough I am particularly taken by the Indian men. It is not difficult to understand why they are so successful, not only with women, on a global scale. They are good-looking and well-groomed, they have an elegant style, a tender mixture of Asian smoothness and British coolness and they are generally very educated. We all try to copy their sweet wiggling of the head as sign of approval. If it is true that we reincarnate, please let me become an Indian man. Raaf
