Little French Sunshine Tune

Didn't really practice it enough, but a summertime quick tune written on the veranda outside the house in France...

Not sure it'll ever be anything more than a little ditty....

Here it is!

Been Quiet...

I've been a bit quiet the last few days and for good reason. Like most people in working bands, I have a day job and mine is as head of system security for a health charity. We look after pretty much anyone who needs help, try to catch the people who fall through the gaps in the NHS. We bid for (and win at times obviously) NHS contracts to run services. We bid against the big players you'll have heard of, but the difference is that all our profits go into our charity arm. Anyway, unless you've been living under a rock you'll know there's been a massive international malware attack which brought the NHS to its knees and a number of other health providers. I noticed something early part of last week and just did some due diligence making sure we had things set right, so when it hit we were unaffected. I was asked to make the call about our response. Do we take our systems offline to fully protect ourselves? I said No. If our systems go offline, real people are affe...

Oh internet, bastion of knowledge(ish)

Back in the dark ages before the world was on tap, being self taught was an interesting process. It mainly consisted of the following... 1. Rewinding and playing the same bit of tape over and over trying to work out what the **** was being played (or needle hopping) 2. Pausing the VHS and sitting as close as possible to the TV trying to see through the pause lines what was going on. Of course it didn't occur to me back then that they were miming, at least not till bands on TOTP started singing with bananas and things like that 3. Asking other guitarists how to do things, however invariably the answer was "I worked it out, work it out for yourself". I remember tapping being one example of this, the other guitarist wouldn't shows me at all, would just tap really quick and say "There you go". Cheers dude! 4. Buying Guitarist magazine for the tab to songs you didn't own and couldn't hear. This though was great. When you don't know the song, you ...

Blimey, been a while!

It's been ages since I've written and I apologise for that. I blame an equal mix of being busy and being lazy. Terrible excuses. The things we don't get round to doing define us as much as the things we do... So what have I been up to?! Well, a whole load of this and that! I've been re-recording songs properly for my new solo album. It's a little laborious when you work on these things just by yourself. The ears get tired, the will gets lazy. Instead of finding that sweet spot for the guitar sound through the proper setup, you fudge one out using the built in amps, but let's face it, that will never sound as good as the real thing. For now my beautiful girls are with me so there's no time for recording, it takes a back seat till later in September, but it's very nearly ready. Of course the next question will be which songs make it on there. There are four of which only two are needed and depending on the day I choose a different two. I'll get the...
