How do you know when you are trying to hard?
I am sure that many of us feel that with that little extra push, if maybe we were not so lazy that we could achieve our own personal holy grail. Theres no doubt that you don’t get something for nothing in most walks of life, but when do you just walk away and say no couldn’t quite hack it so I am giving up? Things are moving on personally for me but I still feel a long way from home, and perhaps what I should be looking for simplification in my life. Every corner that I turn I feel just as far away from my goal, its always somewhere over the horizon. Perhaps thats the way it is supposed to be but I am not sure. If your having fun then keep on trying but if its no fun any more well then what? The more progress I make, the less I think I have learned in truth. Perhaps I am just getting fed up with looking to the next hill and I should pitch my tent right here. 🙂
Here is not a bad place to be sometimes…

Alfred Wolfsohn
Vox Humana
Folkways, 1956
Experiments on the far limits of the human voice. Here’s an MP3 of the opening piece “Lend Me Your Ears” to give you a taste. A top tier Folkways LP for me and a truly amazing 50’s avant garde artifact.

Third World, 1969
Believe me you couldn’t make it up… Speaks for it self…

Still very tense
Its been a very tiring week and I am running on empty to a certain extent. I have a couple of gigs this weekend which I need to do but it will be a strain. Just have to grin and bare it I suppose. Usually this time of year around my birthday is the worst for me and I really could do with some rest now and not being over stimulated.
2011 and other stuff
Its not been the best start to New Year, but hopefully things will get back in to equilibrium soon. So Happy New Year all. Well at least the snows gone!
A warning to us all don’t you know….
Diana & Vicky at The Castle, Childs Hill, London 14.10.10
I love this picture because its amazingly flattering. 🙂 and makes me look about 15 years younger than I am.
This was taken at at Avenue called the Castle which looks like its going to go broke in 2011.
