Playlist
A day of Capital Modelling, mostly...
1st thing, going through all the backing tracks and counting the bars to ascertain the points of entry for my guitaring and Keith's bassing...
He arrived on time and we got to work...
For some reason, no pics were taken...
But I took these this evening, as covers for the two sets of recordings made, edited and sent out to Keith and Johnny W...
We played through the Original Canon - playing eight of the ten songs, twice...
...and the Dylan set, repeating only one of the eleven songs...
Between the two sets, we had a good long chat over coffee, tea and orange Kit Kats...
Due to that, we didn't have time to run through the third set - but we will reconvene in a fortnight...
On Anne's arrival back from Pickleball, the three of us headed down to the Corstorphine Inn for a Pensioners' Lunch deal and more chat...
By the time Keith set off for home, it was after 4:30...
I didn't mention but, on Sunday, I ran through the sets playing my bass (ok, Jamie's bass) and managed to break the E String - so I'd popped to GuitarGuitar at the bottom of the hill and asked for the cheapest bass strings I'd found on their website (given I don't actually play the bass in any band or anything) - £19...
They'd had to have them sent to the branch so they were ready for pick up today...
So, I walked down the hill...
Shortly before this pic was taken, I suffered an extremely painful injury to my right ankle...
As I was crossing the road, in the gathering gloom, I was busy nosing at the lit scene through the window of one of the houses...
You may find this hard to believe, but a completely stubbed my entire right foot, ankle and knee by not noting I was walking directly into a speedbump...
Fucksake...
I hobbled down the road and got the strings, then, a bus back up and hobbled down from the terminus...
...only to find the strings don't fit the guitar!!
They are long enough but the wee knobs on the end are so small they just slip through the relevant holes on the guitar...
That's effing £19 I'm never getting back...
And an injured leg in the process...
This evening I edited the recordings from today and got them sent out...
And we watched some telly - mainly "Nobody Wants This..."
Bed pre midnight with Ibuprofen gel applied to my ankle and foot...
Jeez oh...
Highlight of the Day: Rehearsing with Keith...
