Musicking

Ahhh!
Tonight I'm being lazy and watching Shetland, or half watching it.
I like it: it feels like being in Scotland.
This was a creative week, staring with recording at Dave and Ruth's on Tuesday (Ruth put a fab bass line on Saturday Night With The London Set, and we recorded a dark song called Let Me that is sounding very Velvet Underground). Wednesday was spent recording a horn arrangement in the kitchen for Summer Days to send to the guys, and beginning another song that we are all going to do at the end of the gig at The Lexington, a cover of Curved Air's Back Street Luv. And Rob had messaged me about the gig at The Green Note (reviewed a couple of days ago), and that was a convivial and entertaining night. Thursday was art round at Gina's, followed by going back to Dave and Ruth's to re-record the vocals with Vic on Rendezvous D'Automne, the Francois Hardy song that we have done a cover version of.
Today, I went down to look at The Betsey Trotwood's stage to see if it's big enough to get the Charlie Tipper Conspiracy on to, but it's not!
There are half-written songs lying about all over the place waiting to be finished, but I've been writing some really, really short songs (songlets), because that's what's happened.
Tomorrow is pyjamas day, and so is the next one, and the one after that, and the one after that, and the one after that....
No, not really.
