Serious

Ok, this has become serious. I bought a guitar on impulse today. Almost unpremeditated, although I was getting a bit fed up with the troubles with the old fake Les Paul. Just playing around in the store, looking for one that was more in the Fender style, found one that played well, nice touch, and then noticed that it had a built in digital signal processor. Also relatively affordable. So I asked my adviser who shall remain nameless and he said go. So be it.

So we are more or less ready for live stuff - all it takes is time and polish.

Alain's brother has completed a first draft of lyrics, very cool, humourous, original, and now we must workshop it as they say in the theatre.

Must also re-work some of the improvs and fills and nail down patterns on some of the first musical drafts. It is incremental, but there is constant progress. On a roll.

P.S. A link to Eno's oblique strategies
