As long as the kids eat them lottie, too many children turn their noses up at anything just a little bit unusual . . . I think they are a first class potato  :D

Anyway this may be my last post this morning, since I have been given the day off  ;)

Thanks for that vote of confidence wardy !
To be honest, I have had a truly exquisite day, pure bliss in fact, and have lots of motivation for more music, although it can't be rushed ...

However as payback for a lovely day, I have done a classical version of what is claimed to be one of the most romantic ballads ever written - Greensleeves. I am taxing the limits both of my technique, and the sound quality, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Existing arrangements stand.  :D

Ok still on holiday today, and feel I should at least do what I can while I have the time . . .

A new piece called Divigando, in a style known as a choro from Brazil. Lottie, hope this helps you to destress, with so much in your life at the moment, enjoy it as you prance around your allotment, picking your beans etc. Don't forget to take this with you on holiday Dibber, perhaps the dogs might like to join in! ! !

Oh yes, cefer has now been added to the standard mailing list. Anyone else just pm me your addy.  :D

Ok, just as proof of how inspired I am feeling, here is a gorgeous piece written as an Habanera (like a tango) - Cubanita. Just listen to this when soaking in a perfumed bath with lots of candles around - or one of those private romantic moments with someone special, oops showing my true nature again Doh!

Jill has been added to the distribution list now.

Another day, seize the high points and translate them into an exquisite bolero . . . This gives me enough material for a cd now !  :D

Wow, just realised that I have achieved a long sought after ambition - a whole cd of my own playing. The actual recording quality is necessarily quite poor, and the musicianship is also very amateur, but I have now produced my own master cd!

So this year's Christmas presents are already sorted . . .  ;D

I must remember the credits of course, all those in A4A who have provided encouragement, and then there is the source for the inspiration . . .

As I am sat here, listening to this disc, I am puzzling over the role of the boilerman and the sparky . . . not that I want to deny them any legitimate claim to the actual production  :D
