First of all I would like to congratulate Heather Trott (or Eastenders) on the arrival of her bundle of joy, George Michael Trott. What a a wonderful life this child will have. With Shirl dealing drugs to keep it all together and the square in total turmoil as usual, it shall be enjoyable viewing for years to come. I look forward to the first words, will it me: ‘Oi!’ or ‘Shut it!’ as the little rascal visits the Vic – lots to discover I am sure.
Been seeing and doing a few cultural things lately. This week I got to see Clive Carroll (which was amazing), Esma Redzepova (utterly out of this world), then on Friday off to see Franz Ferdinand and Sunday more guitar things @ Southbank. It is an imaginative time at the moment I am sketching the third album and get to record some of it in studio next week, hopefully it will give me a guideline as to how the real thing will sound. Also am practising about 6hrs a day, which is amazing, it is what I love doing and for pure practise am using some of the Bach lute suites. It keeps the fingers nimble, because writing is quite a different kettle of fish altogether, it is more about the soul and listening to where a melody should turn or a bass line should move.
Really enjoying it.
