dinah has started cycling to work and i'm escorting her there and back to get her used to it.. and because i'm a little over-protective of my lovely girl...
i went into town earlier to see Dave Chappelle's Block Party @ the Prince Charles Cinema... great film, simple... just a load of good performers and some community from members of the audience... Jill Scott, Erykah Badu AND Lauryn Hill all in one night... the Roots providing most of the live band backing... wonderful as ever... Mos Def, Common, Kanye West, Dead Prez, Talib Kweli...
some of whom i knew, some i'd vaguely heard of, one or two i'd never heard of...
good performance is so inspirational...
dropped into the museum of london for some research on my film & although they didn't have what i was after i liked what was in there... checked out a few film snippets of the capitol from around 1900... always nice...
got a puncture on the way home which meant that we didn't cycle in to dinah's work tonight... took me awhile to get the energy to fix the puncture and while i was trying to find that energy i found a way to only use one microphone stand for both my microphones so i set them up to record T's piano...
not my favourite piano but a real piano so not to be sniffed at...
once set up i went and fixed the puncture... washing my hands carefully afterwards, not wishing to get bicycle dirt on T's piano...
i heard someone come in through the front door about 2/3rds of the way through my playing... and just as i finished G opened the door and came in, interrupting the very end... i looked over at my camera and it had strangely moved, the vibrations had made it swivel away from my hands which i find strangely compelling... G's laugh ends the video'd improvisation tonight..:
