Had a great weekend. From being almost entirely wheelchair bound over Christmas, my mum walked 2.5 miles last week. She also had an oncologist appointment where she was told that her condition is currently stable.

You could see a huge cloud lifting from my dad as a result, and the overwhelming bleakness of the last six months will hopefully fuck the fuck right off for a good long while.

On a much lesser note, I am slowly making progress in getting that ludicrous keyboard solo from Del Shannon’s Runaway up to the required speed to play with my band.

Just found out that I don’t need to get my shorthand up to 100wpm before my course structure changes at the end of July in order to get a good qualification! I can just do it whenever I fancy it. Huge weight off my mind.

Just remembered Lucien hiding in a corner at work, ashamed to be eating a bowl of baked beans

you’re a handsome and talented dude, no need to worry

#81

that’s amazing, there’s not much better than the relief of a bad time coming to an end. You got a link to your band’s stuff?

#83

nice! What’s your course?

It must be awful being typecast as The Burrito Guy when your diet is so varied…

Sorry Bammers, I don’t want to harsh the posi-vibes but you’re wrong.

Whole Nut or No Nut for me.

Shall we agree to disagree?

Journalism! Been distance learning for nearly 2 years although mostly procrastinating from distance learning, especially now I’m not planning to actually be a journalist.

#91

you’re dead smart so would probably make a great journalist

#92

#93

as an unemployed musician who will likely never make a single £ I hear ya!

Thanks Bamnan (and all the other nice folks who liked the post), you’re definitely right about that. Puts plenty of other things firmly into perspective. Hope you keep getting the good news about your mum too :slight_smile:

I don’t have a link to any of my bands stuff unfortunately - we’re just rehearsing for a friend’s wedding currently and then we’ll see where it takes us after that. Here’s an Elliott Smith cover I did last year if you’re interested though. Only realised after recording all the instrumental parts that the vocal was really hard and I couldn’t sing it very well - so they’re a bit wonky. Damn Elliott, made it sound so effortless:
