good morning. good morning. bit grey outside (hope it improves). a bit of ragtime ralph to start the day (hmm just listen to that guitar it just sounds like an antique, a bit clanky, not too pretty). ok it is improving outside.
7 years ago. the oscar schmidt resonator guitar joined horsemouth's guitar collection. as used, most notably, on noah. as horsemouth remarked at the time it's a strange beast with a very distinctive sound. horsemouth will take it over to howard's just in case. if there's time he will try and get a solo piece out of it.
he'll also try a version of you and your sister (probably on howard's valencia nylon strung guitar) and wondrous love (probably on the hohner). hear us o lord would be good too. perhaps high rise strutters' ball.
unless howard has stuff he wants to get on with (in which case they'll get on with that).
we also have to add;
the banjolin (gift from ayesha). yet to find a track on which to shine but horsemouth has been playing high rise strutters' ball using it. hey maybe he can use it on sometimes our dreams (float like anchors). the paesold classical guitar (charity shop if horsemouth remembers correctly) as used let all mortal flesh... (vol.3). the hohner arbor lw400n (gift from howard - the main 'standard tuning' acoustic) as used on most of volumes 3 and 4. the telecaster copy (found by some bins) soon to be heard on horsemouth's version of something's on your mind. the bass guitar (from rob lee and emma via rust) as heard to best effect on blindspot and dark was the night on volume 3.
he's agreed to some child-minding work in the evening (if it happens). monday (assuming he doesn't contract covid) he's probably off to his neice's 18th. tuesday more child-minding (birthday party).
anyway first he has to pass a covid test before he can go and do any of this. (otherwise he's just sitting at home being grumpy and ill).
last night horsemouth had a hunt around on youtube etc. for more val lewton movies (for free). no results - he knows he's seen the seventh victim before but he doesn't think he's seen any of the karloff's not even isle of the dead - which would be perfect in current circumstances - military discipline in times of plague etc. even better it's a vordulak tale.

at last more hawkbinge! the sonic attack episode is here!
live these were the great retro-fit huw lloyd-langton years. but what about the studio albums? how have these held up?
tbh the only track horsemouth has ever played again off sonic attack is huw lloyd-langton's rocky paths. michael moorcock's coded languages he loves the lyrics but the backing is ploddy. virgin of the world he had unjustifiably neglected (but then it's on church of hawkwind under another name anyway). the youngster had to admit that sonic attack was a bit of a chore. the eighties aren't his favourite decade and there's a lot of it to go.
ok only a two month wait now for the church of hawkwind review.
