Snow

Snow, lots of snow so no gig in St Albans tonight, unfortunately, but the thought of getting stuck on the motorway in this weather is not at all appealing. Did see the Pretty Things at the 100 Club last night and that was rather good, but I am just not used to being at home on a Saturday night. Ho hum.

Clarity

Its given to us if we are lucky at times the ability to see things more or less as they really are rather than through our usual often distorted perspective. However when we see things that well we may encounter other issues as others often do not want to see the reality of the situation.

So is ignorance bliss? In my experience no. Some times even the wrong idea instead of no idea at all is a reasonable starting place. We are so used to others spoon feeding us through almost every second that we are awake until we drift off to slumber at the close. If you have a wrong idea you have at least a chance of finding a right one along the way.

How to deal with the others? to be continued …

Elephant Shelf back at the Music Palace supporting Chris Farlowe

It’s been an interesting week for both the Shelf & the Deltas.

Elephant Shelf was supporting Chris Farlowe & the Norman Beaker Band, on Sunday the 5th. the evening also featured a short set by Jack Shay & Midnight 36 at the Music Palace 159a Tottenham Lane Crouch End London N8 9BT.

On the Friday we did a Delta Ladies guest appearance at Brooks Blues Bar with the Spike Drivers plus a cast of 1000’s of acoustic roots & blues people. Its the last night of the Brooks Blues at its present venue as its moving house to a new in Fulham for 2012.
