An old friend arrives...

It rained heavily all day yesterday but today the weather has cleared.



I listen back to the supposed final mix of "Deeperdown" again today and quickly re-record the lead vocal for the title track which developed a glitch during yesterday's digital editing...and then realign the final running order, slightly amending the cross-fases and track changeovers...

Then it's off to the airport to pick up Jorg...

It's nearly two and a half years since we've seen him and, just after we last parted company in the Mosel Valley in 2003, both our fathers died...

He's looking good and brings us delightful pictures of his and his wife, Yvonne's three young children, Xenia, Ansem (to whom we are Godparents) and Teja...

After dinner we sit around drinking beer and talking about, mainly music (Jorg has the largest record collection of any one I know) but also the current , almost desperate economic situation in Germany...

Things have changed quite a bit over the last 25 years since we first met up with Jorg in a small village close to what was then the East German border....
