Yesterday I jumped on my bike and made it into town just in time to catch the end of David G's set with Ferintosh: sounded great too.

This morning he and Andrew came over and we talked business and diaries for a couple of hours: all very useful, looking ahead at 06/07 in some detail. Then DG and I headed for the kitchen to cook and eat before returning to play a couple of tunes. 'A Good Start', my tune for Holden Norman (2 months old tomorrow) has a workable set of chords as a result: when I made it I had no idea what was going on harmonically at all. But what a relief to just sit and play and not have to talk about what we're doing or how we're doing it. Everything just gets better by itself. It was a reminder of why I choose to work with a violinist who lives 2600 miles away.

This afternoon I got a call from the English Concert about some dates next month. ?!
