Brisbane-based jazz-blues vocalist has an upcoming performance at the Brisbane Jazz Club. Before she makes that appointment, she has a little teleporting to handle.
1. A smoky, jazz cellar in Paris to listen to Edith Piaf and share a vin rouge with her after.
2. A late-night dinner where Paul Keating regales us with stories of his verbal stoushes in Parliament earlier in the day.
3. Punting on the Thames with Oscar Wilde reading to me.
4. Listening with the hundreds of thousands on the lawn in front of the Lincoln Memorial, to Martin Luther King delivering his 'I Have A Dream' speech.
5. Watching my parents in the '50s on a first date, both looking dewy eyed and full of hope.
Karen Anderson and the Fortunate Sinners play the Brisbane Jazz Club 4 September.
