On other stringy thingies, I had an unexpectedly musical weekend occasioned by the missus being laid up with flu meaning that beyond a bit of light nursing I was free to duck all social commitments and spend Saturday and Sunday playing music with friends. Saturday; harmonies, beer and guitar with Lucy in Hoxton. Sunday accordions tea and biscuits and banjo with Stew in Bermondsey. Lovely. Looking forward to combining the two with a bit of upright bass in Limehouse tomorrow. I'm really enjoying playing at the moment and despite getting jittery about things last week am really pleased with how my little crew of part-time contributors have upped their game lately. Really having fun with it.
Ordered a pickup for the banjo on Friday from here http://www.thomann.de/gb/index.html and am looking forward to playing it a fair bit more at my regular nights. Am even going to have a run at (a very simplified and possibly ill advised version of) Foggy Mountain Breakdown this week. Please don't tell the trad police. I'm also sadly excited about having ordered some poncey expensive cables also from the above. Custom shop tweed angled jack cables. Mmmmmmm(uso).
