Back To School
I legitimately get to study Kerr’s Ass this week… oh, I have been savouring this week of study. ??
New Release: Walk Over Heaven – Sarah Brown
It has taken me a few days to get to this as the song was released on the day of the Paris gig and there was no official video released until yesterday. OMG – what an uplifting song! Guaranteed to put a smile on your face and be having a shoogle about (got to get…

Paris Review – Part Two: ‘Song Please!’
Picking up where I left off from yesterday… I didn’t really say too much about the actual soundcheck. And I can only remember two of the songs that were performed – Hypnotised (seemed pretty apt for me! Lol) and The Walls Came Down (which Jim said will be on the new album coming out). It…
Paris Review – Part One: The Long Story? Or The REALLY Long Story?
I guess it’s best to start with the really long story and edit it from there… so may I start? I slept soundly enough Wednesday night and into Thursday. Probably didn’t settle down quite as early as I should have, but at least sleep wasn’t elusive that night and I got a good few hours…

What To Say – What NOT To Say…
More to come about Paris soon…. How much more? Unsure. For now? This. ????
Cannoli Get Better?
Good news from His Nibs today in his latest post. A number of good news pieces, for him – Villa Angela has once again opened its doors (just in case that whole “being the frontman for the best live band in the world” suddenly starts to go all pear-shaped after 40+ years, like). Whilst it…

“You don’t learn how to be an artist by going to school. It’s something you’re born with. It’s about observing the world – but laying down your own truth.” The quote above was at the end of Jim’s post today, credited to Bob Lefsetz. Before I continue on about Lefsetz I want to say that…

Learning The Craft And Not Chasing High Marks
More on what I shared yesterday – re: Summer Punch and taking the first steps into truly creative writing. The following was written out in my writer’s notebook on Sunday… I have nothing to prove to anybody but myself. The learning is the most important aspect of my study. The acquisition of knowledge. The reflection…

Summer Punch – Creative Writing Coursework
Yes! I am going to talk about study on my ‘Simple Minds’ blog – sorry. Take no notice of it if it doesn’t appeal. There will be more on this to come tomorrow and you can ignore that too, if you so wish – but in between running this blog and being ‘obsessed’ with all…
