Still here, still working on the album... primary instruments in place, ditto rough vocals, working on secondaries now.

Having fun with a wide range of instruments on this one, but hopefully not falling into over-production territory. Indeed, one song will be only voice and guitar.

Playing with the booklet layout, and the comicstrip ideas. (You knew there'd be a comic strip again, right?). Making the things that will constitute the front and back covers. Altogether moving forward.

And, not too far round the corner, the UK Filkcon in Feb, at which I have a set. Goodness, it's been a while - and I shall want to introduce some new songs. If you'd like to hear something from the back catalogue, please feel free to comment here to that effect. No promises, but I'll see.

Meanwhile, batten down while the financial storms rage, wrap up and stock up against the winter.

Btw, a friend of mine who is around 60 and has sung in bands for decades has just hung up her microphone. She says 'nobody wants to see someone my age prancing around the stage'. I think she's wrong - and I was banking on her keeping going to give me an example to look to when I am older. Discuss!
