    Marcus Rashford's twitter feed today has been glorious. The sort of thing that restores your faith in humanity.

    A study by the Institute Of Incomplete Research has found that 6 out of 10 people.

      I believe that. 

       

      Institutions can get funding for nearly anything nowadays.

    Another lockdown tweak done... added a HF tweeter and crossover to my wee Behringer 60w 1x12 rehearsal combo. Mud, begone! :D

    On my hols in Italy at the moment... I was on a bus in Capri yesterday and got chatting to the young British couple sitting next to me... turns out they're from the same village near Reading that I was born/brought up in.

      It's a small world. Wouldn't want to paint it though...

    Another gig bites the dust, and this one hurts... the One Love Festival in Kent, in August. Absolutely gutted. I was really looking forward to this one.

      I feel your pain Rich, we've lost three festivals too. A brand new band for me as well.

      I would say it gives me longer to learn the set but in reality, all it does is delay the inevitable last minute cramming and busking to a bit later in the year.

    NSD (New Stuff Day) -- brilliant new Hercules stand, courtesy of my wonderful daughter. :)

    As if I didn't feel old enough already...

    I've just found out that later this year I'm becoming a great-great-uncle. 

    Jeeves, bring my zimmer frame.

    Today's office with the Soul Destroyers... two one-hour sets, one either side of the match itself. Predictably the crowd were a lot more lively in the second set *coughcough cider* and we went down a storm. And Bath stuffed Glaws too. Result. 🙂🔵⚫⚪

    These bloody celebrity gardeners are all liars. I saw one a while back advising us that horse manure would make strawberries tastier and more juicy. In reality, it does nothing to improve them at all.
    I'm going back to double cream and I'd advise everyone else to do likewise.

    Listening to The Beat's "Ranking Full Stop" with a view to working it into the ska band's set. It's never struck me before just how much the lyric sounds like "ranking foolscap"...

    NMBD (Newly Modded Bass Day)... https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/428083-alternative-pickup-for-p-bass/?do=findComment&comment=4183838

    It's annual new-strings time for the V7. Woohoo! Elixir nickels FTW.

    The power of music... I've just been moved to a tearful wreck by this lovely piece, 'Going Home' by Charlie Haden and Hank Jones. It's basically the Hovis theme from Dvorak's New World Symphony, for piano and bass. Maybe it's just that I'm just feeling fragile atm, but there's something so beautifully sparse and plaintive about it that I ended up with tears rolling down my cheeks.

    In the studio this weekend with Train To Skaville. 😎😎

    Overheard an exchange earlier between a man and his very young daughter, in a supermarket car park:
    Man: we're just going to wait here for a while.
    Daughter: why?
    Man: because mummy's in the shop.
    Daughter: why?
    Man: she's buying some chocolate. 
    Daughter: why?
    Man: because she needs some. 
    Daughter: why?
    Man: *laughs*
    It was a laugh that said "when you have your own bloody children, you'll know".

    What's the difference between The Polar Express and HS2?
    One's an improbable fantasy about a train, and the other is a film with Tom Hanks.

  24. Rich

    24 songs to learn for a dep gig tomorrow evening... eek.

    (although in truth, I already know a handful of them)

  25. Rich

    DR Black Beauties have arrived and are now on the SkaJazz. OHMYGODTHEYLOOKAMAZING. Pics later. 😎

    As an aside... superb service from Lord Of The Strings. I'll definitely be using them again.
