Im living in london now and things are going along fine, doing bits and peices of teaching and session type gigs... working for a charity called live music now with my girlfriend singing, and me playing spanish guitar, we go to care homes hospitals things like that and brighten up people with all kinds of diabilities and problems.. its a good thing to do.
So, we recorded our second album, and really happy with it, but as you may have guessed things are painfully slow with our record company so were holding out with whatever we can do to keep going in the meantime..
i want to get the music out there and tour again, but its all a bit out of my hands.. shame really that its not simple.
That little guitar is probably at the studio near Bradford on avon, ill have to check it out when i go there next... im afraid i dont play it that often, but I think i used it for something on our album.. cant remember what it was though!
Im happy to say ive had a Hendrix revival in the last month. Just started to listen again to his music and like the first time... got blown away!
I also read the biography by David Henderson, which helped me go into the whole crazy scene of his life. I read it very quickly and in general id say its a good read.
Just today i watched the 1970 Hawaii Rainbow bridge concert (skipping through all the 'space people' footage and hippies out of their minds, straight to the gig..)
So apart from a bit of Hendrix revival going on im really into spanish guitar playing, working of widening my pallete of techniques and ability. There really is no-one who competes with Paco de Lucia in that world.. well there are several guys who are incredible but he seems to be everyones favourite. So im trying to learn some stuff by him.
Yeah.. anyway good to be in contact with you, and really hope to see you at a gig when we get going with this second album..
