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.

  This Song wants a Little More love
  Golden Ticket Diana Stones Glasscage · Golden Ticket Go on, give it a spin 😉 Ok that’s the commercial over. I have been having a couple of not particularly productive days. So I have decided to just roll with it for the moment. I have the usual ideas buzzing in my head a bit but I haven’t started to kick off with them quite yet. I am feeling a bit anxious generally to be honest. As in worried rather then panic attacks. I don’t know why but I have felt like … Continue reading This Song wants a Little More love →

  And There’s More Unsurprisingly
  A new tune, using an electric 12 string and a modal riff. No violin on this one.Third World Intervention Diana Stones Glasscage · Third World Intervention Well, there it is. Anger builds up and resentment. If you lost the battles in your childhood you will possibly end up one of two ways. Completely broken or on a hair trigger. So today I am jumpy, jumpy and did I say I was jumpy. Yes a lot of that goes on for me at times. I enjoyed our Sonic Boomers slightly chaotic gig … Continue reading And There’s More Unsurprisingly →
