Scant pickings on yet another New Music Friday (see below)...

More rehearsing today following the feedback between me and Impossible John last night re the session...


I will play bass on 10 of the, now, 38 songs across the three sets...

It was, as ever, early...



Breakfast...


...and I decided to redo the ambient LP created yesterday, shortening the tracks by removing around 18 minutes of "between pieces" field recording based stuff...

And so I have bonus tracks!


At lunchtime, I managed to damage the kitchen work surface with a knife while cutting cheese on a piece of plastic...

Very depressing (First World Problems)...


A call from Leith Dockers' Sarah, asking for some posters for the 25 May gig...

Duly created, based around this...


Out and over through town - good chat and the distinct possibility of more gigs there (if we go down well on the 25th)...

In the charity shop on the corner, this for £1 (and a Nilsson CD I already have...)


Home via our old street...


...and to rehearsing, creating a mock up of the sets and running through the first two, using both guitar and bass, as per the plan...


A break for tea...


...then, back to it and the third set done...

Not too bad but I still haven't sung along with playing the bass...

Felt like a Saturday or a Sunday today but it was, as noted here, Friday...


Some "Monk", of course...

It had been another good day...

Highlight of the Day : Encouraging Dockers feedback...
