March Onward To What?
So bad news but also more band news mostly. On the Home Front my new Band played through an entire set and we did our first rehearsal with our own PA. It sounded fairly good as far as I can tell. I need to do a bit of video to see how it looks and sounds then hopefully a show reel.It’s all a welcome distraction from world events which are becoming more chilling by the moment. Where is this leading? I wish I knew, but nowhere good it seems for sure. Today I have been working on a recording a little bit. I am physically worse for wear at present out and may well have strained something I think.So today is likely to be a slow one as I can’t do much.
Here is a new tune though anyway:
I am also working with Jan Jackson to form a new act that will be mellow and fun we hope. More about that later. We’ll be shooting some video for that soon if we are spared as they say.
Maybe It’s Just Me
Wow, Ukraine. I didn’t see that one coming. Just at the point where you think maybe it’s finally getting better again. Strange days indeed. History repeats itself over and over again. On the home I am a busy bee now and its all new beginnings and crossing fingers that that the fresh shoots will break through the soil with the various new musical ventures. I am a little nervous still and it will take me a while to get back in the saddle again. The UK has just dropped its covid restrictions this week and what was mandatory is now advisory. How comfortable people are is a another matter of course, and if behaviour will change much initially. I suspect people will be slow at first and very cautiously lift the veil? Maybe, but we are only just out of February and what with storms and much else, “Easy does it” may still be the preferred approach. I am slowly working through my legacy projects and now I am about to tackle the “Delta Ladies” French Album finally as I have been putting it off for the last 2 years or so for personal reasons. But I think the time has come. There is not a huge amount to be done on it actually, maybe an overdub or two on one track, and the rest will be mixing and editing mostly and the decks are clear to do it finally. I got totally confused about which recording interface to use as well but I have figured it all out now just about.
Here is a recent Piano tune which I would like to dedicate to those in Ukraine struggling at this terrible time.
Away from music time ticks by a little faster perhaps than it did as we go into the third month of this year. This is a very uncertain time for the whole western world, lets hope we are all stil here in a couple of weeks time? I feel a bit “Cuban Missile Crisis, 9/11, we are all doomed” at the moment. Lets hope I am proved wrong. I wish I had more to say.
A Buddhist Prayer for Peace
May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their illnesses.
May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free.
May the powerless find power and may people think of befriending one another.
May those who find themselves in trackless, fearful wildernesses – the children, the aged, the unprotected – be guarded by beneficent celestials, and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.
Hopefully I will see you out there somewhere.
