horsemouth decisive in a crisis (it was a day much like today)

oof! it was one of those days. it was all going swimmingly until 2.30

and at 2.30, when he should have been off seeing the owl service in far off leigh-on-sea, it all went to shit.  

horsemouth is decisive in a crisis. yes. but that doesn't mean he is always right. but on the other hand when he thinks he's right er. he thinks he's right. 

ok now we wait to see if he develops covid. (he got coughed on rather a lot ). 

prior to 2.30 (as horsemouth remarks) it was all going swimmingly. he was sitting out in the sun watching various kids in rock bands play the kind of songs their parents would like, a band fronted by a girl in a hijab (with a girl in a hijab on drums) played killing in the name of  by rage against the machine (what is this taqwacore? isn't there already a C4 series about this?), after the gig she got an ice cream. there was a band where two girls alternated each line covered material girl. 

earlier he had been doing some child minding (of the type transport child to kids party). 

it was a day much like today.

'there is of course nothing other than inertia preventing horsemouth for choosing a topic and sitting down to write once again. (or for that matter horsemouth picking up one of the guitars and making an effort to learn something).' - horsemouth at a recent point in his existence. 

horsemouth should really be going through his music box picking out new tunes to (re-)learn. if the musicians of bremen volume three part two album is delayed then there is of course more tracks that could and should go on it. horsemouth should at least give himself more choice. 

the open-D6 slide guitar piece of the reverend gary davis's that ernie hawkins teaches would be a good one. similarly that picking pattern can be applied to many tunings. (horsemouth does not have many tunes that demonstrate fancy picking). similarly his attempts to learn the reverend gary davis's instrumental version of dark town strutter's ball foundered on his not knowing the tune but he's got some of the picking learnt  and he could do a variation perhaps. 

a while ago he learned bizet's agnus dei which was posthumously chopped out of the incidental music to alphonse daudet's play  l'arlésienne (the girl from arlés). it may be that albanian dictator enver hoxha adopted it as a military march during his reign. 

horsemouth has a whole box of tunes he could put the work into.
