writing radio dal i hope

third post today, not normally this wordy but i have to blog that i've had a productive hour or so...

sat at T's piano, playing chords i wrote back @ christmas @ my folks... introducing the major third into my wierd chords giving them some blood they otherwise lacked, ethereal bodies now flesh... (matthieu uses the expression ga-blooded to talk around major thirds), so i started to sing and this came:

found my way to love
from that other
wish i could trace my steps
i always do and i never can

then today i welled up
spilt a little
and i give thanks for that
and the fluid grace that that brings

just the beginnings of something, kind of used that technique i've spoken of before of imagining playing a gig, letting that lead the creation...

then i really enjoyed one of cedric nash's dals... honestly that man can cook, i might well time a gig @ my landlords to coincide with him staying (he cooks the soup for my gigs)..

for awhile i've had the notion that we should all have radio shows, on whatever subject we most love, this idea has more recently turned into we should all have blogs and i'm currently trying to persuade cedric into having a radio dal blog, which he occasionally posts to, writing of his eating a good dal somewhere, or of his cooking of a good dal, recipes for dal, the refining of the recipes that he goes through... who knows if it'll happen, watch this space...

going to P's... having marked all the essays, eaten really well and written some of a tune....
