A Typical London Morning
Morning all.
Why am i in such a decent sort of mood this morning??? Why???
I mean, i nearly got killed by many umbrellas, the bus was taking ages, too crowded, its raining, miserable sort of weather, I am tired, exhausted and should be a fucking surly grumpy shmuck like usual. BUT i feel somewhat positive. There is an air of positivity about me today. Strange. Stranger than fiction. Thats life for you.
Its not like recently ive been having a great time of it. Money is usually scarce. Work has been a pain in the ass (well the politics of working retail environment where certain management teams have no clue as far as treating staff/record retail etc etc etc), been stressed about it all. ON the other hand i have been doing more playing recently, which is great. I am finding my passion for performing returning and just really want something big to come in. I can feel that i should get a chance for something great....shit, i dont care. Just to get on a regular horn section for a pop band would be something. Just so i can get into a band feel, where there is performing/jamming and etc.
Bastien's gig was great, hopefully get to the studio to record some of it soon because it really is beautiful music, lots of subtleties and also very intense. Ive never felt so at home with 3 other musicians as i did for his quartet. Amazing.
London Jazz Collective big band is gigging and rehearsing etc lots which is also great...I am working on some big band arrangements and originals etc. Always thinking.
What a strange old day..................

Take a leap of faith and listen to that voice inside you. It's screaming to get out, I can hear it from here! Do want you really want to do, no excuses. Shift the balance; more music, less retail...
If you do you will wake up happier most days........
Good luck
i'm pretty sure i know what you mean dood. godspeed.
