I have often had my finger poised over the 'Create Blog Page' button since setting up this website...I love writing and have kept a diary since I was seven years old, but what with Facebook and Twitter, website updates, feeding children, practising the violin, organising gigs, doing gigs and so on, I've always backed away for fear of not keeping it up.
Ah well, I'll jump in and try not to begin every subsequent blogpost (after the initial flurry of communication!) with....'sincerest apologies for the enormous time since I last blogged!'.
At this point I imagine the blog will consist of musings on day to day musical activities and experiences; what I've been up to and what is coming up soon, and I've no doubt non-musical aspects of everyday life will also manage to sneak in.
This morning for example I have been pulling together some information about the Jazz, Classical, Tangos programme that Paul Edis and I are doing at The Witham on April 12th; I've had a nice chat with Shaune Eland from Darlington Jazz Festival about the Gypsy Jazz Brunch that James Birkett and I are doing on April 30th at The Hash Bar, and I've facilitated the construction of a miniature, green-screen animation studio for my daughter. When I say facilitated, I mean I got the paint down from a high shelf...she did the rest herself.
This afternoon I'll be practising at some point; figuring out what my college teaching will consist of tomorrow; and getting some stuff sorted for my son's 13th birthday on Friday...but first I must feed those children!
