Hello all you Earthlings out there! Played "The Lady of the Lake" on Friday night. Interesting time had during set-up when found I'd left an essential piece of equipment behind, so made a mad-dash (60 mile round trip) to fianlly go on stage about 45 minutes late and not a little disturbed in my "karma". We still got paid, though, so I gues it wasn't a total disaster!!! Crowd was smaller but deeply appreciative and as vocal as ever - thanks guys and gals - we do it for you! (Actually we do it for us too, so we all win, eh?) Main casualties of the night: 2 sticks (Dave).

Earthsea is rumbling along slowly, the band doesn't get it (yet), so I need to find a way to get it over to them that everyone understands...it's like we have the same root language e.g. Romance, but have wildly different implementations (French, Spanish, German, etc.)...and I thought music was universal...wrong, as usual! Hey ho!
