UP AT a decent time for breakfast and a wee bit of a tidy up before our pals Jake and Ali stop by.

Having visitors is a good way to prompt a tidy up and the place is in good shape when they roll up.

We have a good couple hours catching up over coffee before they head off and I go in to the studio to finish recording the Blind WIllie Johnson tracks for the March EP.

In between takes I get some stuff ready for taking to NYC on Tuesday – I have some gifts and stuff for family as well as some stuff I wanna send to National in California.
