she's sulking somewhere... but it's done...
dr john has come back into my life, much more than before... i'd seen him on jules holland and i think we supported him once at a student ball @ warwick university... not that i saw him then or him us - (i imagine)
anyway, i was @ core on monday for a meeting and a few of us musicians killed some time jamming, a straightforward tune led by me and then a much less straightforward melange which somebody said sounded like gris-gris... dr john's 1st album...
since then i've immersed myself in 3 different albums by dr john: gris-gris, dr john's gumbo & in the right place...
'68, '72, '73,
and then chico buarque's construcao came to mind today after listening to some of the crazy arrangements on gris-gris...
i'm also continuing to write the tune i started last week on the rhodes... some lyrics are floating in...
and the sopranos is getting dark... ralphy in season 3...
oh and i've started my booker book club reading, although C by Tom McCarthy is only on the longlist, the shortlist hasn't been announced... i read an excerpt from C in the "sex" granta... what i read was great and i'm very pleased to have found another writer i like, and for this book to be at least in the longlist for the booker...
if it makes it onto the shortlist i will have begun early for the booker book club challenge of reading all 6 booker shortlisted novels in the 5 weeks between shortlist announcement & winner announcement... (i did it last year)
