i recorded the tune, currently named after catalan E, who i wrote it for, it will probably be subsumed into a larger tune, as it's ending fits really nicely into the more abstract chords i wrote @ christmas on my mum & dad's piano, (that i then wrote some lyrics to just before P left me)... gave the cd to D who is flying out to barcelona tomorrow (tuesday, today in fact)...
just did it on T's piano in this house, vocals & piano both at once into my minidisc, through the tiny sony microphone i have, a long way from the big process we went through when G recorded connie for me, nice to record it into my computer & play around with the production a little, once more a deadline forcing some good work from me...
then just as G got home from her theatre work a great program on lemmy from motorhead came on, a documentary on their 2003 tour, just perfect, lemmy repeatedly saying fuck you and being generally witty & rock'n'roll... i've always loved him ever since i saw him in the young ones when i was a kid...
and finally on to portugal, i've started reading the year of the death of ricardo reis by jose saramago, it concerns one of fernando pessoa's psuedonyms, it is very portuguese (so i'm told)... earlier today, i found catalan E's house on google earth (with local girl D's help) & just now i cruised all the way from the northern border of france/spain, around the coast, to cadiz, where E the van driver comes from, looking for lisbon...
i just missed it, when i reached cadiz i knew i'd gone back into spain, i panned out and there was lisbon, saramago gives such a sense of place in his books... google earth is just heaven...
