This morning I finally listened to the mastered Lion CD properly on good headphones in a quiet room. It's only taken me a month and a half to find an hour when I was sufficiently 1) free, and 2) awake. I also familiarised myself for the first time with the procedure for copyright clearing samples, which will soon prove useful. I just hope it proves successful too.

Then this afternoon while in town, I met Alison to compare diaries for the rest of the calendar year and work out when we might try out pianos, rehearse, and record some Schetky.  For the last of these activities September and November both seem like options, although if it turns out to be in November we'll have the added liability of keeping an antique piano happy and in tune in cold weather. We did this planning to the accompaniment of a live AC/DC album in Where the Monkey Sleeps, which sounds incongruous but wasn't.

Speaking of diaries, various gigs are coming together for the end of August and beginning of September.
