Maybe this is a real manifestation of climate change. Its very different to the last few years at this point in the season.  As usual I am trying to do stuff in the studio and I have started with a slightly unusual drum pattern for me which I have an idea about. Will it work? Stay tuned or not I guess, (more bad puns coming up). I will be teaming it up with a modal flavoured electric 12 string guitar part. I know I will regret it as it always takes me about half an hour to tune it. And also to find a suitable tone that&#8217;s interesting but not too distracting.  The struggle is real \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(129deg,rgb(233,139,41) 0%,rgb(238,179,95) 8%)\">Update. It took me 20 minute the get the thing sufficiently in tune, but it&#8217;s sounding Ok now. <br>The tracks maybe not going to work that well. I have put some string lines on it from the Korg but I am not sure if I like it or hate yet it so I will stop now as I am getting kind of irritable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(129deg,rgb(233,139,41) 0%,rgb(238,179,95) 8%)\">I think a lot of my issues are routed in the fact that I stil have an ongoing struggle with depression and anxiety that makes a thing more difficult than they might otherwise be. This as I am sure you can understand also has left me with a tendency to not entirely trust others motivations and a fear of being manipulated\/used which has happened in the past due to a combination of naivete and also sheer desperation at times. The few odd extra musical job opportunities&#8217; have dried up completely this year, which hasn&#8217;t helped much either and the arthritis can only be managed to a certain degree. I get frustrated with myself that I am not able to engage more with people generally in social environments which I do find difficult on my own anyway. I have tried to live a simple life but its always got very complicated due to the fact that I have never been very good at walking away and perhaps too often guilty of flogging a dead horse. So music has a lot of extra baggage attached to it for me. I have usually gone the extra mile for people to try and make things work. I have sort of lost faith in it all really I suppose. <br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div
