chance (would be a fine thing)

 what was that horsemouth saw on the packet of lavazza red label coffee?

a 'product story'  about the red of the label and the italians' passion for coffee. 

what is horsemouth's product story?

of late he has been working on a slide guitar part for rory gallagher's secret agent on the hohner tuned open G, he has the rhythm guitar part worked out already that his is currently playing on the resonator. he would probably be better off playing the rhythm guitar part on the hohner and the slide part on the resonator (but actually it is probably another tune that doesn't need a cover). 

of course rory (ballyshannon's finest) already has a slide guitar part worked out for his piece (it is just that horsemouth can't face working it out and learning it). as usual horsemouth wants to make the tune different (he can't see the point of just playing it as is). actually there is little point in working up the tune anyway - horsemouth would be better off writing more of his own music.

the 'new' tunes horsemouth worked up back in april last year  at howard's (no name resonate, murder ballad, jai guru) lie about undeveloped on soundcloud.   

otherwise (yesterday) he was off round pete's (for the first time in a while). they worked on tom waits' broken bicycles (now beginning to sound decent). they will probably revisit the get carter theme and a number of pete's tunes. 

max has got a book launch coming up. 

it's a grey morning. 

last night a phonecall from horsemouth's mum (everything is ok-ish in the valley). 

saturday - a wander out (or a museum visit) with a friend. 

monday - the equinox and a meeting of the communal endeavour.

the santana piece that heads up this blog is a tune by john coltrane with alice coltrane playing piano on it (a continuation on from illuinations). the album opens with her (allegedly) playing on a version of going home. it is similar to versions found on alice coltrane's lord of light  and santana's lotus except that it features the drummer michael shrieve truly 'going for it'. 

what will horsemouth get up to today? he doesn't know. the rebecca stott book on the exclusive brethren is done, he will probably move his attentions on to joan didion's blue nights.
