TO WHERE I AM NOW

It was as if we were being hunted by the rain, as soon as we went out, it came crashing down. We arrived at the post office and just sat in the car for about 10 minutes just waiting for it to abate. At the psychedelic psupermarket as soon as we left the car, it rained more heavily. The drops were the size of light bulbs and even when the sky looked brighter the deluge continued. This is what keeps England green and people indoors although there were people getting drenched as if having a bucket of water thrown over you and the dog was normal. The snow is coming back, spring has been kidnapped, locked in a shed with summer’s lawnmower and the garden furniture, there must be a ransom to pay, perhaps to Mother Earth for all the mistreatment.

Rehearsals continued today although I was distracted by a nuthatch on the tree and the woodpecker on the feeder. Yesterday a pheasant in the field and throughout the day the robins, the dunnocks, the bluetits and the blackbirds, the squirrel balancing precariously on the thinner branches at the top of the tree. Today Olivia shooed a large wasp out of the bathroom and on the wall a spider in the same spot for a week. The crows gather in the fields beyond the house, a lone seagull and yes, a lone pigeon.

A sesh with Jeff in Ohio today and a plan to come back to America to work with sessioneers on their projects is about to be put into action. Atlanta Craig’s Blueburst project has been getting some well-deserved attention. You can peruse the world of Blueburst on Bandcamp or on the website blueburst.band and you just must listen to the debut single, Vanish.

Power adaptors arrived in the post today and printer ink at the Amazon hub at the post office. It’s so quick, you order and it’s here. I generally don’t need things this fast. It’s a bit different because I’m here in England and needed some things for the tour but at home in Portugal I can wait. Fast food – worse food quicker, what’s the point?

Music today has been Aquila, the band that Ralph Denyer joined after he left Blonde on Blonde. There’s just one self-titled album released in 1970, unfortunately, it’s turned into a collectable rarity and an original copy will set you back 200-400 Euros. The album was produced by Patrick Campbell-Lyons of Nirvana fame.

This is my stolen 1965 Rickenbacker 12-string, serial number EB157. If there's any chance of this guitar coming back to me before I go to meet my maker, then that would be wonderful. Please contact me if you have any information.

Songwriting & Guitar Guidance with Marty Willson-Piper
ORDER HERE

"These are awesome sessions that I highly recommend for guitar players of all levels. Very informative, frank discussions on everything related to guitar and music in general. Definitely a must for anyone pursuing songwriting."
(Stephen G., VA, USA)

"Marty knows how to bypass scales and get to the heart of feel and timing. His musical knowledge spans multiple cultures and genres. Perhaps most importantly, Marty is a cool dude. I highly recommend his guitar guidance." (Jed B., MN, USA)

"Ok, so you’re sitting in your home and Marty is across the world but is actually right here teaching you how to play guitar and write songs. He is a delight to talk to and he is your teacher, meaning he wants to see you get something out of his lessons. You know he’s paying attention and wants to steer you in the right direction. I am so grateful and humbled that he offers his time in this manner. This is an amazing opportunity for anyone who admires anything from his enormous body of work. How often do you get to learn from somebody that inspired you in the first place? Amazing." (Ann S., CA, USA)
