Musician life is funny, and we never know where opportunity will come from!

I just completed some arrangements for the live band in a finale concert for Indonesian Idol & Idola Cilik (“little idols”, or youth). One of the songs was a kind of patriotic group song with many of the winning adults and youth contestants, so I was arranging for the whole cast of the show. The title means Indonesia Unite. The song was written by Liliana Tanoesoedibjo, who along with being a major part of HITS Records is also an activist, businesswoman, socialite, and fashion expert in Indonesia.

Liliana is a stunning beauty. She appears to be in her 20’s, but in fact she’s 53! I’m happy our paths crossed, however briefly.
