Early start. Off to do a workshop outside of London. There isn’t enough coffee and the white in my beard seems greater than it did yesterday.

We all deal with things differently, my wife copes with the pigeons crapulously fluttering around our balcony, & smugly strutting around by running out shouting obscenities at them enraged, railing Canute-like against their feigned innocence.
I on the other hand have turned to a different catharsis

Discography as a leader
Current state of my desk. Some deep work to do today after some time in the shed.
Of note are the 15 discs an old dear friend sent me because they wanted me to hear them. Some rare tracks and deep cuts.

Gave my horn a rub.
It arrived with a deep red patina and I fell in love with the whole package instantly so didn’t change a thing.
Got curious.
