I think without realising it consciously much of what I do requires concentration, say when I am recording studio stuff. Maybe my brain gets more of a workout than I give it credit for at times?  I must admit at present looking back on my Delta Ladies days as if it was a golden age, it was good but not so good that nothing more can be achieved. I loved playing live but I could do it in my sleep before. Now I am learning new stuff week in and week out. Its going OK but I do get a bit worried about cocking it up. Especially as everybody seems to think I am way better at it than I really am <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t57\/1\/16\/1f609.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude09\"> Yes, the nostalgia filter has a lot too answer for. Also, try as I might I feel I can&#8217;t be the same age as my contemporary&#8217;s until the aches and pains set in, but at that point I really know it. As I write this is is  one of those days unfortunately.  Odd but today as I write this a bit of anxiety has kicked in out of the blue. It does sneak up on you. Usually when you think you are doing ok.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s still February and rehearsals continue with various musical ensembles and a few small scale live appearances scattered among them too.
