new person walking the streets

so yesterday i become a new person...

i mean obviously we all become new people everyday, bits of our bodies constantly renew, psychologically we are subtly different day by day, but yesterday i became different slightly more...

i spent the day creating 3 sets of 45 minutes each, come 6 i put on the paul smith suit and i took the tube to fulham... whereupon i played those 3 sets in a restaurant called the farm...

i've never done it before, strange, playing the piano most of my life but i've never done a proper restaurant gig on the piano before...

when JtJP asked me to cover for him for 6 weeks (tuesdays and thursdays) i originally said i'd start next week, give me time to build up a set, but then i realised that i needed the money for this week too so i took it on, knowing that the 1st one would be hairy...

and hairy it was...

i did well, but on thursday i'll be loads better, in fact i'll probably be improving all the way through the 6 weeks, maybe peaking around week 4...

also it was very tiring, 3 sets...

but it's such a nice thing to do, thinking of all the tunes i love and finding the music then playing them...

also nice to look natty x
