Frustrations And Questions

A few minor hiccups at present. My car is still not well and I am trying some bodging and amateur fettling to try and fix it. Success is not by any means guaranteed though. But one feels one should at least try or one would be letting the side down. It is the English way to carry on keep calm and struggle in an abjectly futile manner though of course. So another test run. All well until a minute or so from home and it cut out. Turned off waiting 30 secs ,instant restart and OK again. WTF? Is it haunted. Argh!!! First world problems I guess. So I have ordered a code reader which should tell me what’s up. Only £21 and it should give a reasonable clue as to if I should mend or scrap it.

I just looked at the computer and it logged itself in. I suspect it’s not psychokinesis just a vibration jogging the mouse but for a moment there I was wondering. Today I have been working on some music but the timing is a bit wayward in parts. I discovered I had put in an extra 4 bars of part of the sequence in the middle but I kept it . Maybe might work. Plus I have got a bit anxious. So it’s an all stop till the morrow I think.

Tomorrow has come and I ache like the blaises. Why? Well I sat on the sofa last night and normally I don’t. Could just be that. Arthritis works in mysterious ways.

November 2024

Here it comes. But not yet winter. The trees are turning and locally the roads are empty mostly. The real countryside is just moments away from home. To absent friends a small toast.
Its comfy for some. Of course people don’t want to see through it. See the man behind the curtains pulling the levers to create the illusion like the Wizard Of Oz. Their off down the yellow brick road looking for somewhere over the rainbow land…as you know you climb the mountain, then the all the wise man in the cave at the top has to say is “Fancy a cup of tea, it’s a nice view from here” It’s a universal trope, with some validity. Terry Pratchett was actually an earthly manifestation of the divine I am sure.

Ace in My Hand Yesterday

A recent jazz world fusion excursion from me.

A stream of kids are going next door for Trick or Treats. Also its Diwali so there are fireworks banging which I could really do without.
My new Album will be released in 2 weeks time. I refuse to say dropped because I am so very old school. “Ace In My Hand” the track above is on is on it.
