Hello and Happy Valentines’ Day to you all!

Week three draws to a close. We now have 7 songs in the bag, 2 more nearly done, and a further 4 that are showing promise. The mid-week MacBook crash has not dampened our spirits too much (thank heavens for cloud backups), but it does mean we no longer have Garage Band to use to capture the bare essentials for the music.

Our waste basket is now brimming with crumpled paper; yesterday we caught Nancy going through it claiming that she had “thrown away the best song ever written”. We let her carry on but no epic was forthcoming from her.

In other news, we have now been joined by Zane Clarke, complete with the shiniest Saxophone ever seen. We’re not sure we will actually need a sax on the new album, but the evening jam sessions have now taken on a whole new dimension (and he appears to be a big attraction with the local lay-dees ).

What else have we learnt so far?
* You can never pack enough spare strings! My Bass is now down to just 3

That’s all folks. Peace, love and happiness to you all.
