morning recovering from rough night with digestive tract.... but in the end better slept than a while. dreams not so disturbing. fixing and tidying, and into work for a longish meeting, there is a heavy energy in there which is quickly dispelled by any small effort, but it quickly returns as well.... finally some good practice time, and god it feels great to get back to the hands a little. show was good, though there was something a wild horse in the loft. home and setting new flatwounds on the viola bass, and checking to see that headphone amp was fixed. which it was, the MCI console continues to amaze me, mainly because it is fixable. it is a totally different world of engineering to what i grew up with. something that is designed to last a very very very long time, to be repairable, instead of obsolescence. truly one half of the current crises could be viewed as subscription to obsolescence.
