Howdydoo back again semi regularly as promised.it maybe a little after the fact but i feel i must say a few words on recent passing of the sky. saxon that is. actually two words mostly spring to mind EVIL HOODOO. Being seventeen wouldn’t have been the same without it. what a glorius noise they made on their 1st lp generally but the fact that this was 2 or 3 louder made it closer to my heart. sky was a major influence on the throat wrenching vocal style that i pursued back in the stairs days and it was kinda nice in a wierd way to hear ‘can’t seem to make you mine’ on a telly ad recently. however on reaching for my seeds lps i’ve realised someone has accidentally forgot to pass me back my “live at merlins music box” probably their best full lp. you know who you are . enjoy ya bastad!
LP sessions are going fine.tomorrow we have our first perfomance from outside of the group with ex joneser jamie laying down some bagpipes so we can trample on them whilst he’s playing mandolin. should be fun.
otherwise i’ve managed to solve my potatoe storage problem. they kept goin bad before i could eat them and a friend suggested i put them in a cool dark place. so not one to do things by i half i’ve put them next to my charlie mingus albums and its worked a treat. NICE ONE.

Wir haben a little deestress in the camp of late with a coupla cancelled shows. Apologies to those hoping to attend. Double shame really as the shows we have done recently and rehearsals have been really cutting it. Next few weeks we’ll be putting final touches to our debut l.p. - which has been delayed a little due to voice trouble earlier in the year quite classically followed by much equipment failure. Basically everything (band and recording equip) bar our old gibsons had been failin us but all the gear is in tip top shape now and ready for action. Sorry for being gone so long and then hitting you with this - probably the most boring paragraph in literary history - but a necesssary evil it is and leaves me free to bang on about stuff like haircuts and the recent deaths of superstars like Sky Saxon in the NDF (near distant future). See you then..
