Over the past few weeks a plan for getting a home music recording system has been looked at. Extensively. Seems like the way forward is one of the Apple systems. Options are very many and the total cost is expensive. Well…..for a pensioner. So the need to get it right is important.

After many internet and YouTube visits, the choice is finally made and will be ordered this week. Then it is a matter of learning how the technical side to all this works. And also it has been important to create a future project for a band and album name.

FRAIL AUTUMN.

Why? When 16 years old I wrote this ‘FRAIL’ name on an old army bag I bought from an army surplus store. My brother, the guitarist, found it in his garage. I’d forgotten I actually had it. Emotional acquisition to be found again? Definitely. It was possibly a self name given to how I was feeling at that time. Who knows! ‘AUTUMN’ is my current status of where it feels that I am, and my musician cohorts are in ‘a life lived so far’ in years. Closing in on 70 years old. So ‘Frail Autumn’ is our life’s journey so far.

I wrote a song way back in my teens called ‘Old Man’. I have been restructuring the instrumentation and chords recently. The melody was a decent one which still works. The lyrics are being updated. So, with intent, a ‘life as lived’ holistic concept is an active project forming currently.

Got to love a plan with a concept.
