Awake at 05.00. Rising at 05.34.

Morning reading…

And if feel a guitarist for a second consecutive day.

Answers come through the guitar…

Creativity is a fundamental fact of being alive. Creativity engages and acts upon and within any activity or undertaking. So, here now & playing guitar, developing variations are developing, expanding, growing, moving into more complex & diverse forms from the initial, very simple, beginning pattern.

Better therefore, that we concern ourselves with activities & undertakings that are positive, healthy, real & good & true, because undertakings & activities that are less desirable, less wholesome, less healthy, also develop creatively. The road to Hell is itself a creative undertaking. If in doubt as to the veracity of this statement, ask Hellboy Tom.

Off to work & play…

Tony brought his e-bow to use on the Chapman Stick but didn’t put the e-bow in the e-bow box. You don’t get much closer than that.

Gavin has the latest gadget…

… a Flip Nino. Other band members were much impressed & covetous.

A through-run of our draft setlist & then onto the Problem Children. Remarkable errors appeared where none were waiting.

Nonetheless, a good second day.

Shopping on the way home. I was flattered to be asked for ID to buy alcohol free beer.

21.16  Practising.
