vernal equinox - 21.58 universal time (grenwich mean time basically).

RIP Bernie Tormé - down the marquee

saturday  (3.30 or so) horsemouth went to make music with howard - to prepare for their april 13th gig at waterintobeer. blue crystal fire (in a reworked waltz-time form) is high on the agenda. next rehearsal this sunday.

horsemouth is quite excited about the idea of using a e-bow to provide a drone but he hasn’t bought one yet - next time - it will come in handy when they are recording the next record.

set list: the reworked blue crystal fire (by robbie basho - good to have a stronger american primitive guitar connection), satan, when the faun met alice, the werewolf, the devil song, all my dreams (if the audience look like they can take it), the worldes blisse and whatever howard brings and wants to play. this is the heart of it. looks like dorothy is coming back in.

horsemouth has been experimenting with tupelo - he may do that for his solo spot.

saturday, after rehearsing briefly with howard, sean visited (hence the irruption of brexitese into horsemouth’s thoughts). sean is rapidly moving away from a sense of himself as british (not that he ever possessed that no) and going the full irish. sean noted that in star trek they give the date of irish reunification as 2024.

horsemouth realises that he is a lazy sod and had better get on with some musical work ahead of his gig.

sunday horsemouth nipped round to minty’s in the evening - they had a few hot toddies (in lieu of not very much at all) and sang and played a bit of guitar - not their best but decent.
