For the first time in about 6 months I actually played with another musician in the same room. It really felt quite exhilarating and very different from the online virtual though realtime sessions I have been doing via cleen feed and similar. Also the furthest I have been from Bedford and its environs for a fair old while too. We recorded the session and there was a good dynamic and energy. Even the much driven M1 seemed a place of exoctic adventure and the return rush hour traffic whilst wearisome was not so much of a grind as often it seemed in the past. So a small start but a step in the right direction. Some more normal or near normal interactions are pretty much essential now for my mental health as much as for my creativity too. Some days are hard work though. Talking to people helps of course though but its not quite enough.
