New Year's Eve Eve.

Okay, today I need to find some sort of shelf for all my music bits and pieces - mics, music, leads, etc., etc. This job is defined as 'tidying up'. It is loosely related to 'downsizing', except that you get to keep everything.

Tomorrow is party time! I'll head into a popular bar in Wellington and see the new year in. I'll stagger home at about 2.30am.

NOT

The Times They Are A-Changin'.

At this point Peter would present this song - HERE.

Robert could learn it on his cello.

I 'fiddled' on Robert's cello in the music shop last Saturday - there was the salesman, an old friend, and me and Rob - only three of us in the shop. The salesman said, "At this moment you two are the best cellists in the shop." Then he pointed out that I could never compete with someone who dressed like this...

Okay, he had a point. Especially
as you sit down to play the cello.

Enough about cellos.

Only two days before I start my new practice diary. Exciting!
Better than going out on the town!


I'd finally like to get my bass compositions (or some of them) played in public. I'll most likely go with a guitarist and a drummer. I already know them all pretty damn well but playing them live will be different. I need to use some good promotion. In Wellington there are two jazz organizations that use the letters WJC - Wellington Jazz Club and Wellington Jazz Co-op. I doubt whether either of them would be at all interested in me, so I thought of starting a third WJC. Maybe 'Withering Jazz Composers' or something similar. Then I could head up my posters with,

"WJC presents Richard Prowse in concert."


It's all about promotion. 
...and what 'self-titled experts' say about you.


That's it from me this morning.

Ciao tutti.

My tummy has been playing up, so I decided to change my diet and had a banana for lunch. That made it worse and I was pissed off, so I had a wine (or two) out of frustration. That fixed it! As my mother used to say, about a drink, "It may not fix it, but it will make it worth having." Thanks mum.

Take care old feller. I'm told that red wine can be good for stomach health. Maybe try a merlot.

Grazie.

Wine can also give you pancreatic cancer.... but yes I'm pleased with Mary, I'm making faster progress with her than I had hoped.

Anonimo ha detto...

And you're pretty safe from pancreatic cancer.
