And so the story goes, to where? No one knows. But it involves a Volkswagen T2 Crossover Bay Bus called Billie Bud (known to most people as ‘WOW, a camper van’); a Pentax LX SLR camera loaded with black and white film; cooking vegetarian food on a basic set up of Cobb cooker, a couple of gas rings and an open fire; reading books; listening to music and the ruminations from a retired Staff Nurse. Well......got to fill the hours outside of being a pensioner somehow.

I produced this piece of artwork below about 20 years ago. I tried this technique once, and never tried it again. I think it would be a nice idea to try some more imagery again. Some art for the music project. Well…I kind of liked it enough to keep it all these years. Actually framed it! This morning, I took a photograph of it, screen shot it seven times and shoved it through the iPad ‘Filter’ choices. Then? Took the ‘Lighten Up’ recording from last year and remixed it this afternoon to a brighter level.

Music and art considerations ? It was kind of ‘Just stuff it together’ and….see what results…..and….here you are. A naive capture. But. In the infancy of new promises….getting comfortable with the whole GarageBand vibe again. It’s been so long a need of a tread softly approach is vital. If not? Nerves will shatter.

Familiar is important. Unfamiliar, with new songs, needs to follow the tried and trusted familiar. With a sense of remove the tried and trusted and scoop up a different way of thinking.

This afternoon, ‘oh so my oh yes’…….a new song has been started. Feels different somehow.

I now feel confident in attack.
