Boodlee boodlee boo! We had a great rehearsal yesterday, Ruth and Robert and me: four hours of playing, yakking and eating. We worked out Women of the World and The Sea to play next Tuesday, mainly because they are political songs and therefore extremely necessary at the moment. I am so happy with what they bring to my songs. They are both empathetic musicians who listen to the feel of the music and the meaning of the words. And at the end of the rehearsal, Ruth cut the extra branches off my tree and we bundled them up to go off to the tip!
Meanwhile, I've just recorded a vocal demo of Cailin Morun Sa and sent it to Willie G. I was stumped about adding that extra thing to it. The pitch of the song is low for me as a vocalist but I can sing in that range comfortably now the big obstacle has been removed from my lung, but it sounded unfinished until I put an instant harmony on it. That's just gone off for feedback and I may be able to do a bit more work on it tomorrow if he likes it.
I've got to learn the words of Sixties Guy from my album so we can finish the video this weekend. I've never played the song live and so I don't know the words yet. However, on January 15th we'll be doing another 'everybody' gig in London and we'll play the song then. More on that later.
No drawings of people yet this week. I've started going to life-drawing classes again and I'm comfortably hopeless at it. Once I get back into the groove of that, I'll start the little drawings again. I have some corkers of photographs to draw!
