My Story #3 on the 24th October

The date for My Story #3 is set and we've finalized the individuals who will be showcased this time and I must say it's really a great and exciting lineup!

I'll be posting their profiles here... so here goes.... 1st up we have

JOANNA FUNK & FRIENDS
Joanna's parents were both Sabahans, although she is living in Sabah for the first time now, discovering lots of relatives and the wonderful food here! She plays a melodica, which sounds a bit like an accordion. "Playing music is a great way to meet people here."

Joanna worked in financial news in London for 15 years, but is now writing about the things she loves - music! Her blog ( http://sabahsongs.wordpress.com ) focuses on music education in Sabah, and she asks Sabahan musicians how they picked up their music.

She wants to share information about how people make work in music, in Sabah. "It could be through playing, sound production or education. With other people's contribution, I hope we can build an in-depth picture about life in Sabah, in music."
