Music of the day: The Melody of Rhythm

It was a collaboration between tabla player Zakir Hussian, double bassist Edgar Meyer, banjoist Bela Fleck, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Hussian and Fleck are both the most well-known players of their respective instrument but Edgar Meyer's playing is eqaully amazing. I forgot it's a double bass! This is refreshing music. Here is an interview by NPR (the public radio station)

Sports highlights: NRL, Pacquiao, IndyCar

It was the opening weekend of National Rugby League (Australia/New Zealand.) I watched one game, of course.

The biggest event was Pacquiao vs Clottey. Not a particularly interesting fight since the Clottey was blocking his head most of the time and did not try that hard to fight Pacquiao back.

The best one was Indy Car's season opener in Sao Paolo, which featured a whole lot of lead changes! And you seldom hear people praising sports coverage these days (see the comment section)
