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.

• Its that time of the end of the month
  Well I am stil wandering in the wilderness figuratively speaking and possibly on the road to nowhere even though my GPS hints otherwise at times. An observation: I keep track of my moods and what not. I am beginning to think there is almost no corelation with events in my personal life. This week everything I was expecting to do has basically been cancelled pretty much so a tad disappointing but I am in a reasonable state of mind and plodding on with my usual stuff. This year seems to be … Continue reading Its that time of the end of the month →

  Status Report
  Well here we all are again. Our Covers band Sonic Boomers gig next week has just been cancelled by the venue. Back in the day it used to happen a bit but when you have lots of gigs its not so bad but we just don’t have any gigs. Rather bad form to do it at such short notice. Unfortunately Sonic Boomers just cant get arrested gig wise now…. Somewhat depressing but not that unexpected. Pubs that don’t do regular live music will often pull a stunt like this though . … Continue reading Status Report →

  Lighter Days Again
  “Its life Jim but not as we know it”. Such a useful phrase from STOS and Spock’s words can be used in almost any occasion to express confusion over the exact nature of almost anything now. And things are so often confusing and contradictory. The Donald though just keeps rolling like Ole man river meandering in the post truth age. Diana Stones Glasscage · Maybe Faith Hope and Charity Friday was rehearsal of Sonic Boomers the covers band I play with and quite a work out. We use a Church in … Continue reading Lighter Days Again →

  That Certain Age.
  Life plays us in a sense, we push too hard one way and it resists us and forces us off course far to often. “There is a tide in the affairs of men,Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;Omitted, all the voyage of their lifeIs bound in shallows and in miseries.On such a full sea are we now afloat,And we must take the current when it serves,Or lose our ventures. W Shakespeare. Might seem a little odd, but I think maybe for a while I will not try and … Continue reading That Certain Age. →

  World Keeps On Turning.. Maybe?
  Well at least it did today. Not sure for how long if it depends on the quixotic notions of DJT though. Just been to Clophill lake’s with Alison. Very busy there. Bumped into Steve that briefly drummed with Delta Gypsy’s and his Mrs. A bright Sunny bank holiday Monday. I am very much in space cadet territory at present mentally though. On A Day Such As This Diana Stones Glasscage · On A Day Such As This Only Memories Time seems to be passing very rapidly now. A moment ago it … Continue reading World Keeps On Turning.. Maybe? →
