Music and things
Life is getting back in the fast lane. Samhuinn is well under way. Got another practice tomorrow. Things are going good. We need to agree on more things and other people need to have valid ideas....but it'll all be fine on the night.
My band project will be moving soon. This week or next I need to write adverts for a drummer and a piano/guitar. If anyone knows anyone who is good at jazz on any one of those instruments and would like an audition for a band to play gigs and earn money, drop me a line.
I need to find out the possibilities of me getting a seat in a good Edinburgh based Big Band. This shouldn't be totally beyond me at the moment.
I may also (in fact probably will) be playing with Amanda Palmer at the Edinburgh and Glasgow gig at the end of the month. I am bouncing between jumping up and down and screaming and being terrified about this. Been working on the music today and found it really easy, so this is going to make it less stressful. I will just have to concentrate on playing fewer notes than usual, and not going off on a totally Rambo thing on the night. This, again, shouldn't be completely beyond me.
Need to dye and shave hair before these gigs, cos I have grey, black, brown and red hair and it looks silly. I'm going to number 1 the undercut again (or more accurately, the next person to come round to my flat will get the job).
Now it comes to the big decision...more caffeine or a nap......
