i've Entered a New World... I'm Tripping Even More Now Than Ever... on the 28th Aug 2009 i Played With My First Electric Trio, Billy Kettle on Drums And Ian Denyur on Bass... it's opened New Dimensions For me Which im Very Thankful For... i've Spent Many Years Studying Life And Music Playing in Bands Solo And Duo's Wondering And Working out Whether it Had Any Worth or Meant Anything in my own Mind... Hmmmmm... Well Now it's Confirming What i Already Believed in,,, That Music For me Has Frontiers That Haven't Been Explored... unless Your The First Human on Mars or The Person That Cures Cancer (Which Should Be the Most Important Human on This Planet And Worshipped by All religions) Then Music is the Only Form For me to Explore, it Allows Exploration Beyond "Personal Growth" as a Human Being... Which Could be Seen as The Same Thing!!

Regardless of Style, Music is Being Made And Will Will keep Developing... its The One of The Most Powerful Forces and Energies That We've invented or Discovered.... it's probably one of The Most Defining Reasons Why Were Here!! (Bold Statement)...But After our Extinction All That Will be Left For Aliens to Explore is our imaginations, And What we Dreamt off... in Scientific Terms it Would Probably Mean us Humans Reacted to Certain Vibrations That Stimulated our Brains in Different Ways From other Life Forms in our Universe (Thats Another Matter)

Theres an unspoken Feeling in Which Music Makes You Feel, That Words Can Never Describe, it Shouldn't be ignored Just Becasue we Can't Define it...

Sorry For That!

Ever Seen Pingu Meet Rab.C nesbit?

Well it Works, And Yes The Festival Was That Trippy!!

 

With Free Helpings of Baked Potato And Haggis From a More Than Generous Stall, To Having Free Acess to Showers, Not to Mention The Free Delivery of Drink Rations From The Closest Town, Can Only Be The Perfect Festival.

 

It Was Fantastic!, Real Spiritual Place, Great People, Great Vibes, Also Alan And Me Had a Cracking Gig!! We Played a Passionate Set!!! Want to Say Thanks To Everyone That Came to See us, Your Presence Was Really Appreciated.

 

A Special Thanks To Nicola Black For Her Professionalism in Organizing a Perfect Gig

 

Inwards And Outwards

Drinking Heavily The Night Before a Gig And Wakening up on a Bench in a Busy Parisian Street at 9am in The Morning Wasn't Really Good Preparation For Playing Live, or Was it?

 

I Have to Say This Years Tribute Was Made Special With The Presence of Mick Grondhal And Gary Lucas… Both With Their Paths intertwined in Musical History, They Are Beautiful People And Wonderful Musicians!

 

It Was a Lovely Experience to Have Dinner With Mick Grondhal And Chat About Music And Obviously About Jeff Over a Few Glasses of Red Wine ^^ Mick Was Saying How Impressed They Were When Playing Edinburgh With The Layout And Reception They Received in Scotland! (Ochk I The Noo Jimmy)

 

Overall The Whole Thing Was Excellent, Met Lots of Talented People From All Over The World, Heard Some Incredible Voices Too! We Don't Have to Worry About Great Singers in The Future There's Plenty of Them ;) Had a Good Blether With Gary Lucas Also, The Guy's a Great Character; Hope to Get Him over to Glasgow Soon.

 

Thanks For Everything.
