More recording!
Having recorded the Müf CD a few weeks ago, I went back to the studio over the weekend to record three tracks with White Sunday. It was a shame to spend the first sunny weekend of the year indoors slaving over a hot SM-58, but the results so far have been great. James still needs to do the vocals - this afternoon, I think - but the drums, bass and guitars sound pretty sweet so far. It's rubbish when you've built up momentum, and have got a good vibe going for the recording sesh only to find that you;ve run out of time and will have to come back and finish it off, but I hope James can pull it out of the bag and get some great "throat" down on the CD.
So, my mission this week - should I choose to accept it - is to crack on with finding a new drummer for Müf, rehearse and gig with White Sunday (Prince of Wales pub, Caversham, this Thursday - free entry, 8pm doors), try and catch as much sun as I can, and try not to be too happy about the Welsh Grand Slam, I don’t want to annoy the natives (who historically have always been prickly about not winning stuff).

Anyway
=======
People are often unreasonable,
Illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
People may accuse
You of selfish motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
You will win some false friends
And some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
They may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.
