I do drink coffee and I don’t need a picket line to stop me entering Starbucks.

Walls designed to keep people out, also keep you locked in. Put some doors in that thing!

“You've built your walls impossibly high
Stones and mortar of fear reaching up to the sky
I keep asking myself why I bother to climb
When clearly you have designed
A fortress of pain”

Eden, another slice of heaven. Love that coast.

Heading to Port Fairy - hopefully might be some Southern Rights or Humpbacks still around. The prom is the bomb! 🐋

Some days only a minor key will do. 😔

Melancholy morning musings. A couple of minutes of my morning writing / practice session.

Raging, raging, raging still
In the only place I cannot fight
In defeat I close my failing eyes
And pray, my love, that we survive.

2/2

Blood Bond
—————-
I would have fought with you
In any battle
Back to back, side by side
The honour, mine
My heart betrayed, a ragged cut
I did not see coming
From your angry edge, my beloved
In a battle I knew of not
1/2

My piano often humbles me, but never humiliates me. 🎹❤️

In my mid 30s I burnt out. What followed was a 10 year period where I rarely played. No lyrics, no music - nada! I was still a musician, an artist - albeit a suppressed one. My voice was stilled for a time, but it broke through louder and stronger than ever. Output is the proof, not the truth.

62. Same.

A different way of thinking about playing slow while you practise.

Peter Frampton album. Frampton Comes Alive.

Pink Floyd album. A Momentary Lapse of Reason.

This is what happens when my wife leaves me unsupervised in a country town secondhand store. I have been looking for Frampton Comes Alive for ages. Pink Floyd was a bonus buy! I still love vinyl. And, I get to support a small town business too. Winning! 🙌

This is a snippet of a piece called Yerevan. It’s an unintended recording I made today while testing a new phone stand. It’s part written, and in small parts improv as I work on the piece. I wasn’t going to post it, but what the heck 🤷‍♂️

A beautiful improv captured as it happened.

I like pop music, hell, I like most genres. And I’ve written my share of 3 or 4 chord songs. But these days I find myself looking for dissonance, unexpected turns. As I write I almost instinctively dismiss anything that feels too easy. Maybe I’m just old and grumpy?! 🤷‍♂️

Listening to Aja today. The piano on the title track is a thing of beauty. And Steve Gadd’s drumming just never gets old. The whole line up on that album is simply superb. An album I have never tired of since my first listen, many, many years ago!

I hear you! It hurts, and it builds character. Been there too. I still feel every sting, but hold no ill feeling. Each was a redirection.

And even though I play now only for myself, I still have the most brilliant teachers and mentors encouraging me and sharing the love of music. I’m
still learning and creating, and striving to level up. The cheap still make noise. Sadly it’s all they allow themselves to reach for.

In hindsight this has been an enormous blessing. Even though at times I felt out of place, even outright intimidated, it has impressed on me the value of surrounding myself with brilliance. Never a word of criticism, only encouragement. The criticism, I now know, only came from the cheap seats.

Upon reflection, I can honestly say in every band setting I’ve ever been in, I was the least talented. What I lacked in talent I made up for in effort. I’d rather be lifted up a level or two than dragged down. Better the least of the best, than the best of the least.

Note to self. Play the guitar more. Do not let your fingers go soft. Now, pay the price fool! 😖🎸
