    I had a couple of band things coming up this week but I lost my amazing Mum after a very long illness on Tuesday. I was with her when she died peacefully. I hoped I would be up for a new open mic at the pub down the road that my friend is running but figured I would take things a day at a time. My bandmate came over yesterday to run through our songs. To be honest, I welcomed the distraction. We worked up a version of Boys Don't Cry, which I remember buying the 7" single on holiday with Mum back in '86. Obviously I dedicated this to her from the stage. I think we did about 8 or 9 songs and I mostly played on my 8 string mandocello. 

     

    It was my time venturing out socially and I am pleased I gently pushed myself. I have another big band project on Tuesday and this was a dummy run for that. I think I passed with flying colours... although I have the worst hangover today! I'm not looking for sympathy, I am forever grateful that I had a truly inspirational mother. Happy to take sympathy for the self inflicted hangover. I think I'll reign it in when I get past the next couple of weeks.

    So sorry for your loss, very difficult time when you lose your mum, devastated me when it happened to me :(

    Yes the unit looks superb and it sounds great on the vids on the Hotone YouTube channel, it'll be interesting to where it lands price wise :) 

     

    I have an Ampero One which is terrific, the stage looks like a real step up though !! 😛

    Outside of BC and any band you might be in do you ever talk about music with anyone else?

    Yes with most of my mates, we are all into music, a few play in a band, one mate has his own studio, when I meet up with my best mate Cliff a lot of music stuff is chatted about including bands etc. and playing guitar and bass :D 

     

    The wife has no interest in the music I like !! 😛 

     

    Both of my sons are into music as well so that's cool :)
