Port Of Mystery - Yanni

Variation de Virtuosi à la Yanni

Advantages: A fun show with a lot of energy and some impeccable multicultural performances
Disadvantages: A couple of pieces not so great, audience presence can be disturbing

Yanni (born Yiannis Chrysomallis) is probably one of the most popular musical artists in the world specializing in predominately instrumental music. Being very much a self-taught talent, he was born in Kalamata, Greece, where he learned to play the piano and tried his hand at composition as well. He eventually left Greece and enrolled as a student to the University of Minnesota where he joined the rock group Chameleon, headed by drummer Charlie Adams, involving themselves with some small time touring to no great fame. After growing tired to the life of a rock'n'roller he decided to focus solely on instrumental music as a composer and soloist, soon to be followed in this endeavor by Adams as well, the two of them striking out a collaboration that has lasted to this day.

Mystery shopper

Advantages: Work when you like, fun
Disadvantages: Low Pay

I have been a Mystery Shopper for 4-5 months now and I enjoy every aspect of it.
