Why Barry Manilow prefers a synthesizer (and other stories)

Finally got the string quartet into the studio. These days are always intense so I was very glad to have the rest of idiot son there with me. Bob & Mark had scored a couple of songs apiece and led the way. Jon had fixed the players and was a fine extra pair of ears.

Love that. I think I shall put the Even Now album on my cassette player and play it aboard the NorthernLineCrush. That'll learn them.

It's all a bit pants. Rutland & Leicestershire CC's playing off of each other.

Any more on your moving Sarf?

All will be revealed soon (ish) ... don't want to jinx anything! :)

Flipping bureaucracy. Drives me mad.

Thankyou, we hope so.
No these are New New songs, so just me on the guitar & pianoforte thus far.
I'm thinking I might see if there's a slot at the 12 Bar or somesuch, to give them an airing.
The strings are on the Old New songs, which I keep forgetting people haven't heard yet because they've been languishing in the studio for so long.
When it's all done, I hope we'll have a celebration gig with strings and brass and banjo's and all sorts. Haven't found the venue yet, but am probably getting ahead of myself.
Then there's the Old Old New songs which we've played a couple of times, way back when but were written after Lummox.
I think that covers it.
Oh apart from the Old Old songs which I've forgotten!
