yr3wk8 hammond guitar drums foolish story

the fruits of thursdays trip over to hammersmithwork...

i so love this hammond organ, not to mention these 2 musicians,

so, how much to tell?

i've got another piece of musicalness arriving next week i'm fairly sure...

they contacted me this week, the pre-story being that i'd ordered and paid for this item back in march, it should have arrived in a week...

many times since then they've said, oh no, can't get it to you when we said, it'll be this other date now... each time i thought, well - at least i've paid for it,

many events, the 1st of which was the recording i did @ the townhouse, the last of which was the gig last friday @ the clapham grand, "oh well, at least it'll be here for... (insert name of any number of events).."

so i get a phonecall... "we're having a bit of trouble with your credit card"

but i paid for it back in march,

"no, that's not how we do it, you pay for it when it's here with us, it's ready to be shipped now, it's sitting on my desk, so if you can just sort out the money?"

thinking back i do remember being pleasantly surprised how much money i still had after paying for this thing...

now... it may not come as a surprise to many of you that even though i could afford this thing back in march, i certainly can't afford it now...

i didn't say this exactly to the man from germany but i think he got the message...

"3 days to come up with the money or your piano module is sleeping with the fishes"

i panic, i phone N, he of john sinclair managing fame, he saves the day, super hero that he is... swinging in with his cape flying behind him...

i'm going to train him how to make radio programs on his computer, he's paying for the thing, i'll work it off or pay back the remainder...

worked out nicely in the end x
