Hi guys,
With setting up a Facebook account, releasing an album, finishing a Masters degree, commencing album number 4, enjoying my gorgeous 2 year oid son and realising that I am not getting any younger, it struck me I have not updated the blog page.
The Usual Suspects (www.theusualsuspects.com) have been playing a fair bit and sounding really really good. The rehearsals for the original stuff are slow, but will get a shot in the arm as of next week. I recently acquired two more guitars (Epiphone Dot - which for the afficiandos is a copy of the Gibson ES 335...it is beautiful and inspiring me every time I pick it up. I also now have an Epiphone resonator guitar which is an acoustic guitar with a sodding great metal plate on the front andis mainlyused with Blues music. My hero Ray Baker (Ray and i are the famous Amnesia Brothers) put me on to them and I love it.

I have started recording album 4. This will be an acoustic (ish) album and I have about 6 songs written.

Sam turned two a couple of weeks ago and continues to be the absolute light of my life. It feels like every day he learns 10 new words and finds another way to make me believethat despite the appearance, this world is a place of beauty and wonder.

May you fall asleep beside the one you love tonight...

Peace
Dave
