Howdy folks.

The weather in Sydney for the past few days has hovered on the brink of storms. The air as a capacitor, taking up heat and charge, holding it over a sleepless night, storms fighting at the edge of Sydney until they break through to cover the harbour and join with the sea today.

I even had to rescue my mate Dave from the backyard. He got trapped in the laundry during the downpour. 10 dangerous steps to the house too far.

All this whilst we're working on 'The Flood'.

Such are byproducts of energetic systems.

This Friday night, at the Townie with Isaiah B Brunt.

From 10-2am.

Howdy Folks.

I was setting out to do a nice tidy last blog of the tour when I noticed a dearth of vidoe fooatge from the last part of the tour.

True, for our last show in Iowa we were pressed for time and I didn't video much, but the following day as we did some touristy stuff with Jo, things went badly for my camera..phone...thing.

(sigh).

I had saved the data and restored it to another phone but it looks like there are some pics and vids missing...

Might take some digging through the data dump to get the rest of the pics out.

Howdy folks.

Recording for The Flood and the 'other' song continues today. This simple stuff is hard. Especially when it's instrumental. Nowhere to hide.

What normally gets done in a flash took me an hour yesterday at the end of which i still wasn't happy with it. 4 notes. WTF.

I mental blocked on one part of the phrase, stuck the reed constantly on another, eventually having to break out the tool kit to mess with the harp. Not a good sign. Blaming the instrument or Actual problem. Hmm. 50/50 chance methinks.

Fortunately Ben has an hour for me to have another shot. Yay. 

I have to get in the zone.

Breathe in, breathe out. Repeat. Now put Harmonica in Mouth. Yeah, that's the way!

Also file down that flamin' reed.

Right.
