same old man (preparations)

horsemouth is back among you (his head is full of uk kack). this morning it is rainy and grey and he needs to do some preparations for work tomorrow (having a shave and checking his costume so as to look presentable).

yesterday horsemouth did little but fart about on facebook - an evening researching the internal police investigation into failings during the rotherham child sex abuse cases (the largest case they have ever investigated excepting the hillsborough stadium disaster - and look how long that came to trial - south yorkshire police so much to answer for), a late night investigation into the possibilities of a triggering of article 7 with respect to hungary. he ended it off with a trip back through his posts for last september.



during the day he put up a link to one of howard's golden glow mixes from a few years ago featuring same old man by karen dalton. he practiced guitar playing through it and another song by karen dalton - somethings on your mind (C&W/ southern soul basically). he thinks he’s got them - he’ll write down the lyrics and chords today have a think about arrangements. he was mostly playing the almeria bm, he might dig the resonator out, really they all need restringing (especially the hummingbird that’s now a 5 string).

same old man he’s playing with a C7 (a four finger chord) - he can feel some arthritis coming in the first joint of his little finger on his left hand (he already has it quite badly in the first joint of his little finger on his right hand). horsemouth is on a clock for this to spread throughout his hands - thereafter he will have to rethink how he makes music.

in far off austria zali krishna has been experimenting with the goldberg variations - the results are here.
