So, its unseasonably mild at present and apparently the wettest on record. Slowly but surely I am moving out of my live music becalmed stage, as things are beginning to happen which is at least hopeful again.
Here is a recent sort of Jazzy tune, It’s a bit of weird one but I think it works.
Life goes on pretty much and apart from the rehearsals and odd gig now and then I am not getting out much. I hope to have remedied that once 2023 has started if I am spared. With the season’s change I feel a struggle not to hibernate. Gosh, but it’s hard.
It’s starting to get cold now. Ouch. Life goes on with a few hiccups along the path.
There is plenty going on on various musical fronts, so that’s all good. I am in 4 different acts, all very different, which hopefully get busier next year. A slight hiatus though, due to the guitar player in one band fracturing a finger and the drummer twisting their wrist and no they were not having a fight. In my folk act the guitar player has got a kidney infection. But overall I have a lot more going on now than I did a few months back creatively so that’s good. Other than that its business as usual over all. Finances are a bit iffy till next year so I am mostly doing stuff that does not cost too much to do socially. That’s OK though.
It’s a Piano and Keys thing, that sort of wrote it self the other week as they often do, whilst I was thinking about something completely different.
A memory from a few years back. No special reason for putting it here except it’s a fun picture with happy smiling people in it. We all need to do more smiling don’t you think.
Yes, it’s the next thrilling installment and I bet you just can’t wait.
My reptile part of my brain is convinced of the following: 1) I will die of something awful soon (This thought has been with for years generally and ebbs and flows in it’s intensity like weather patterns ). 2) Something will go wrong and I wont receive my pension, even though I have a piece of paper telling me exactly when and how much. 3) Although my car has a very expensive service and drives smoothly, that it will fail and leave me stranded somewhere. 4)….. In fact I could go on listing stuff forever. It’s really annoying but I have had to deal with feeling like this for what feels like time immemorial.
A perfect example of an anxiety driven logical fallacy.
At the time of writing I have just added a Violin part to a track sent to me by Jon Bickley and I am pleased to say he likes it. I tried a slightly different recording set up to simplify things and it worked like a treat. The more I do the more I want to do. That helps when the depression thing kicks in. It’s a typical autumn day out here almost countryside land, Sunny cool and the trees giving a decent display of colour as the leaves turn.
Here is a tune from earlier this year,(February perhaps). Its a Violin and synth tune with a lush orchestration. Its starts slowly and dreamily then the beats kick in. Ideal for dancing around your lounge after too many cans of cheap larger and/or other relaxants.
Musically speaking generally things are going fairly well though still not very much happening on the gig front alas. So another Saturday night in doing solo interpretive dancing because it’s good exercise, though it might look silly. So maybe I am interpreting myself in that case .
Tea is the essence of life, with no tea life would be dull indeed.
