Friday, January 25 - Day 6

Friday we were back at sea and started the morning off with another autograph session. I (Anikka) got up the courage to compliment Candy Dulfer on her bracelet. Pretty Exciting stuff. 

Marcus Miller

I headed back to bed for a bit and Jason went to watch Marcus Miller play basketball. He got some neat photos and I think it's the only time I've seen Marcus not in a hat!  The afternoon continued with the "Hanging with Horns" session featuring Candy Dulfer, Steve Cole, Paul Taylor, Richard Elliot and David Sanborn in the Queen's Lounge. Next up was Dueling Pianos with Bob James and Brian Simpson. We stopped by the "10 yrs on...A look back at The Greatest Party at Sea" where Jason snagged a photo with Candy Dulfer. I don't think I've seen him smile that big EVER :)

This was formal night so Anikka took an hour to get ready while Jason went off to the cocktail chat with Alonzo Bodden, Marcus Miller and Larry Braggs. I joined him after getting all snazzed up.  We headed to the formal dinning room for the first time all week. We had a table to ourselves and were happily surprised when dinner didn't take two hours like last year. We then went straight to the line to wait for the Paul Taylor and Brian Culbertson concert.  The main show was followed by a complete play through of the Double Vision album by David Sanborn, Bob James and Marcus Miller which was released in 1990. They hadn't played the songs together since!
