Got to on keep trying. Apparently. Even when you are running out of steam. And I am a wee bit I must confess. Today I assembled an exercise bike and it was quite a workout to be honest. Outdoor exercises at this season plays havoc with my arthritis, so it a useful winter compromise. Keeping fit when you don’t regularly gig is I find a problem. So I am slowly trying to build up a little bit of stamina again if I can. Also activity can help alleviate or mitigate depression too which is also a very important for me as well. So in-between practicing and recording and mixing there is now exercise to work in as well. It’s worth a try at least.
The worlds in a pretty bad state now and there’s little that an individual can do really. Public out cry about injustice may well make us feel we are doing something, but it seems that we have less and less power to achieve any sort of leverage and change the mindset of those that rule over us. Power is a drug and those that don’t have it are doomed to waste away. There is no sense left in the whole wide world now.
Here’s a world/jazz genre instrumental. It’s called “Intrusive thoughts”
Facebook: Yes it’s useful and mostly benign except for one thing. The endless rubbish that comes through on messenger from spammers and scammers and phishers. I get it in industrial quantities at times. the messages start like this “Hi” or “How are you”.
Nobody tells you why they are getting in contact for example. It’s almost never anything genuine. Ok its a nuisance but it stil annoys me. Ho hum. Also it is always worth remembering that pretty things may be toxic and dangerous. So don’t always believe what you see.
- Just Another Song For You
It’s a funny old world. Everybody wants to share a little too much information it seems. But that’s life I guess. It’s yet another achy day and I have been mixing a live recording I did for a friends project. A little bit difficult as its a blend of narration and music recorded in a very reverberant church. I think I nailed it though. Diana Stones Glasscage · Magic In This Rainy Weather I seem to be musing on mortality again a lot lately as one does. As I write it … Continue reading Just Another Song For You - Piccadilly Dreamers
25 years ago on an outing in London with mates we did the classic Eros statue shot. A right dodgy crew we were I reckon looking at us. Are you working tonight ladies? No we weren’t honestly. But so long ago. I would have been about 43 in that picture I guess. Time’s winged chariot seem to have been travelling at something close to light speed I feel on some days. Diana Stones Glasscage · Night Noises Well, right now I feel as if we have hit peak nothing makes sense … Continue reading Piccadilly Dreamers - Normal Service Will Be Resumed Shortly
Diana Stones Glasscage · Come On Baby Feel Your Way I always tried to do no harm. But when I am feeling good it shows somehow and my light comes on and people are drawn to me… Funny as I am totally a gloom and doom merchant, living a life day to day always expecting deaths boney finger on my shoulder. The most recent figures on songs of mine played on the that I can verify on Internet streams in the last 10 years is (actually the majority of that is … Continue reading Normal Service Will Be Resumed Shortly - Bolding going forward or Just plodding on?
Plodding on boldly perhaps would be the correct description on this dull old day.I have been recording a new track but it has a rude word in the lyrics. I have decided to re-record the vocal though I don’t think it notices much. I only included it because it rhymed but on reflection it has to go I think. Silly me. Today was going well then suddenly a panic attack. I haven’t had one for a while but woosh there it is. I replaced the rude words in my song with … Continue reading Bolding going forward or Just plodding on? - Golden October or something
Well against all the laws of probability my car passed the MOT test. Did not see that coming so I have had my car nearly 10 years now, but as I only gig infrequently these days its in semi-retirement. More and more I want to retreat from everything and be a recluse apart from gigs right now. A musical friend had a heart attack recently, he is OK though. He also has had MS for years. Managed to teach himself to play guitar again after he got MS after being told … Continue reading Golden October or something
