Aaah

Two of the things most dear to me, bathed in warm light in Barkley's 'vocal booth' (aka converted living room). Have had a fantastically productive & fulfilling day. Started comfortably at 10.30am, took a break for lunch & talk, finished at 6.15pm, got down (live) the 7 tracks I'd hoped to record & then cooked for a sweet potato curry, rice & dahl for Barks & family. I am looking forward to the arrival of Mr Blacka & his double bass tomorrow morning to record the remaining six tracks with me. Had a very pleasant evening: have been sitting reading a magazine whilst Barks played the grand piano in the next room. A very nice & surprisingly mellow day.
