A muso's muse

Trying to do the artwork for my CD and getting very frustrated as I can't get the look I want. I can see it in my minds eye very clearly but my artistic talents are not quite good enough to interpret those visions. May have to switch to plan B and get the camera out as I've a few other ideas that may work.

Practice has been a bit lax lately and it shows - did a spot of playing on the piano this evening (mainly Bach 48) and was struggling a little on some pieces that a few weeks ago I was blasting through without problems!

Spent most of the night laying down the basic tracks for a new instrumental piece written in memory of a friend who died very recently - he was a very kind, gentle giant of a man and will be missed by many.

I hope this piece will be a fitting memorial - I'll post here when completed.

My apologies for the lack of writing - been in a bit of a musical wilderness due to many things including stress at work and a terrible bout of depression.

It's taken the sad news of an old friend dying very recently that's got me off my backside and doing music again properly - just finished writing the outline of an instrumental piece and have just started recording it this weekend and have just been looking at re-recording a piece I did about a decade ago - we'll see how things progress.

Hope all out there are OK
