The venue in Singapore- Espelande


The view from my position on stage. Next to my Mic you can see my Sitar tool box with strings and things like that incase anything goes wrong with the instrument during the concert. Luckily this has never happened....yet...but im ready if it ever does!!
The final show of the tour here in Singapore.
Backstage....pictures of some artists who have performed here.
One of my musical idols is the great Pat Metheny.

Final stop before home...Singapore

Pan Pacific Hotel Atrium 

The view from the room...Also in the bottom right you can see a dome shaped building which is the venue for the performance here in Singapore. 

Entering Singapore

There are very strict laws here in Singapore. As you can see this is the immigration card you have to fill in upon entering countries.  I am also told not to chew any gum as this is also illegal and may result in a trip to prison.
