The gig I told you all about from last week wound up getting a bunch of press. Two of the photos I took wound up being used in both the print and online versions of O Globo (I received no credit ... don't get me started). Ze Paulo wound up doing a big interview for O Globo Online which you can read (if you read portugues ;-)) by clicking on this link. If nothing else you'll see one of my photos in the article.

Enjoy,

P.S. The journalist for O Globo also decided not to include the part when Ze talked about me ... no respect for the gringo! ;-). Oh well.

Hi everyone:

I finally have a laptop and a digital camera down here. So, here's the first online photo album I'm putting on the web since I arrived in Rio. I played a gig last night with Ze Paulo Becker and two of the heaviest names in Brazilian music showed up ... Sivuca and Hermeto Pasqual ... take a look!

(If the link doesn't work, just copy and paste it into your browswer ... you may need to sign up once you reach the site, but it'll be worth it since I'll be putting up lots of great images from now on).

I'll be sending out another edition of "Tales of a Gringo" shortly ... lots of things going on.

Best,
Scott

p.s. for those of you not familiar with Brazilian music ... yes, both of those guys are Albinos (and it's just a coincidence believe it or not!)
