now the world is set to rights we can get on with the music

horsemouth (man of leisure) went round to pete's for the reformation of PPE (peter, paul and enza). 

he took the hummingbird copy (tuned standard) and the banjolin (just to play through high-rise strutter's ball). the resonator is out at howard's. pete has some kind of epiphone hummingbird copy (so horsemouth compared guitars - how could you not? - pete wins)

they ate (a gyro each, horsemouth had the vegetarian equivalent with halloumi). horsemouth and pete drank (a little).  

they took a look at enza (and catasto/fille's) loops of heaven and then at peter's are you still watching? walking in the  woods, captain migraine, good morning sunshine, isn't it so. horsemouth faked up catastro/fille's guitar part from loops and enza sang and they began to get that one working. pete's songs are good and memorable, horsemouth thinks not all will survive into the set (but most of them will). there's a fair amount to learn that he can just sit around with pete and learn.  captain migraine they played last time (2 years ago) and the others they worked on a little before the pandemic. of course horsemouth doesn't play guitar like pete so there will have to be some allowance made for this. 

horsemouth thinks they should bring back johnny remember me (but with johnny leyton's lyrics) and the get carter theme from their first gig. these went well. 

the joke (peter paul and enza / peter, paul and mary) is that they are going to do puff the magic dragon (but horsemouth doesn't see it, it would be indulgent). 

as horsemouth said he's really keen on having some songs sung in french/ spanish/ italian (hell swedish and russian are even possible). 

when horsemouth had made it home he had a chat with pete online. horsemouth (from his position as a proletarian internationalist) coated off the british (pete said he quite liked them). 

of course now the world is set to rights we can get on with the music.
