the right place at the right time

finally met the woman who moved in to the house when we moved out...

she works for the organisation which put on my week's work this week, along with CM,

she told me she liked the tune that i worked on with 4 very talented young men, part of the work,

my part in it very much being in the right place at the right time, very easy working with talented people sometimes,

and the improvisation on wednesday was also very right in my mind, even though it was somewhat strange for dinah, the video almost done, just need to go over it once more,

a real leap into the dark for me, never having heard these players before, but going on D & N's recommendation, lovely people and lovely players,

also met a young me this week, black and church going, like so many great musicians, i showed him a few things and he picked them right up, one day he was looking at my fingers in awe and the next he was doing it himself...

i hope i'll get to carry on teaching him...

so the week's work was hard but great, very good feeling about it, good to work with the 2 teachers i was with...

and naturally floopy came round for shabbat and we drank and smoked, laughed a great deal, played cards, saw the kills & the fratellis on live from abbey road,

and like often when i've been smoking and i'm inspired i can't sleep, and i'm sat here at 6 in the morning, having got up around 22 hours ago...

but no work next week so in one way it doesn't matter, just don't want to drift too far from my love, she was just as decadent tonight but she's been asleep for a couple of hours and she's still working next week...

oh and i almost forgot, it arrived, almost 5 months later it's here and it's beautiful, next week's improv for sure will be on it...
