Its all getting rather busy on the music front suddenly. Some interesting new opportunity’s are presenting themselves. From famine to feast this year seems to be the case, or is it simply a matter of seek and ye shall find maybe? Try not blow it will be my motto though that’s easier said than done at times. The world seems a little unhinged at present too.
This is a recent instrumental tune based around a riff on a 12 string tuned to open D and a couple of violins plus synth to taste.
It’s been a while since I last spoke with you. Pull up a chair. Tell me what you have been doing. Did you win? I am glad. You know we dont get many visitors these days and it’s always good to talk. We will just listen to start with if thats OK with you? It’s just that we are a little short on subjects to talk about recently. And we don’t get out much, did I tell you. So tell us all about you.
Yep, its a weird old world. My musical doings are proceeding as expected at present, in mostly a positive direction. My body and mind are as ever doing what they do and giving me little unexpected surprises. I am releasing another album to coincide with my Birthday next month. I think my solo material output will be a little less next year if things move in the direction I expect them to and I am busy with other things as well as my personal music projects. Fingers knees and toes crossed it will all work out.
Christmas. Not really my thing anymore. Scrooge me. Not really. Well maybe just a little. Plus the stars are going out, so many people that were part of my musical influences in my youth are fading away though they have left a rich legacy of recorded music. At the time of writing this Mike Nesmith has just ridden into that sunset too.
It’s been pleasant and sunny and autumnal as you would expect from the time of year.
So what’s new? The routine goes on as ever, practicing, writing, recording taking exercise and pondering the infinite. So the same old same old really. Plus a bit of anxiety creeping up on me again. I get to sleep OK but have constant dreaming it seems so I wake feeling exhausted.
As I write this I am also not in my happy place, I am in my grumpy place. Just because. There is a glimmer on the horizon of some distant fresh new dawn but. At the time of writing I should have been at a rehearsal which was cancelled at short notice so I find myself at even more of a loose end than normal. I have also hit my tea saturation level. I am not cooking up any new tunes at this moment either. Its Diwali and tomorrow is bonfire night so there has been a bit of random banging echoing through the dark. My joints are rather sore too. My head is empty though of ideas and words at present. But hey that’s never stopped me before. I have decided if nothing much occurs I may just try and join a pub band to get a few bob extra come 2022. I get these mad ideas from time to time…..
Perhaps I need to lie down in a darkened room until the thought goes away. I had along phone call with a friend about a few things that are troubling me and that helped me quite a bit.
