Sounds good K. Reminds me of Peter Green’s early solo improvisations.

I’m aiming to send some songs over in 2025 - I didn’t send any out last year even though I released a new album 😝 - follow me for more promo tips 😂

As are you :-) I’m nursing a winter cold and haven’t done much this week but hope to be recovered quickly and back to my studio! Love your pictures of your snowy walks - we don;t get snow very often these days

You’re not alone Rose. We had similar thoughts 8 years ago when the whole Brexit thing happened. I see that some have been able to get out - Brandi Carlile and her family have moved here recently I believe. Stay safe.

Thank you, @ravingwolf.bsky.social and @sleradio.bsky.social.

@creativereader.bsky.social is a very talented writer, and it was inspiring to set her lyrics to music.

No need to apologise Rose - the world has been turned upside down - hope you and yours are OK

Wise words. Do you think the loudness wars have made it difficult to swim against the tide with streaming? I know the default settings for most streamers will normalise LUFS per track. Do you think CD has more opportunity for maintaining dynamic range (if the track has range of course)?

Every track is different but, yeah, less is more is a good principle

Thanks for your list K. I didn’t know about the Street Gang - I’ll see if I can find it. I’d add Local Hero from my list - brings Scotland and Texas together and takes you back to the 1980s 5/5
