It's possible that there's going to be a historic five-oh birthday for Paul 'sax' Davey, who is putting together not only Daniel Takes a Train but also Helen and the Horns, with Dave Jago and Tony Hepworth (bless!) for his birthday do. It's all being planned but I do hope we can film it.
Meanwhile, Song Club has started up again this week; we're writing a Wintertime song, me and a clutch of 14 red-sweatshirted children, words, singing and end-of-day energy.
And I've just been down to LA Strings' new premises in North Finchley to get the Gretsch looked at (nothing wrong with the electrics; I think I'm a conductor), where I tried out a tempting guitar with a quilted maple finish, and watched some Youtubes of a couple of their clients doing fantastic things with their guitars. It was nice to see them again, as they are total enthusiasts.
Time for lunch, if I can get sushi into my mouth before the cats hijack it!
