SOURDOUGH today so I’m up early to get the oven on. I’m baked, cooled and breakfasted before my first guitar student of the day – a 9am online session.
Dawn, my regular Wednesday morning student, arrives just as I’m finishing the online session and we spooned some times working on varying rhythm/strum patterns with a song.
There’s a few bits and bobs to sort out in the studio then I manage to get out for a paddle…first time in five or six weeks. It’s been windy and choppy every day for ages. I do a wee livestream while I’m out on the water.
Back home a shower and a late lunch before my afternoon kiddies arrive for their lesson. I’m puggled afterwards – despite feeling fine earlier, I’ve started to feel very again and have a nap.
A Messenger note comes in asking if I’m available to open a show for our pal Charlie Parr at Cottiers in Glasgow at the end of May. Of course! Charlies been a great pal for more than 15 years and we’ve played loads a shows together in the USA and Ireland…he’s always been championing for me to be on the bill at his Scottish shows but somewhere along the line – maybe promoter, agent or tour manager – has been bombed. He’s insisted this time and it’s happening 🙂
We should be able to announce the show tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon….
