Apart from the gig today has been great! just relaxing and taking it easy! Spent this evening playing my electric guitar (its great to take a bit of a break from my acoustic and let it rip on occasion 
) and browsing the internet at the same time (see fig.1 
)
When I wasn’t playing guitar or browsing the internet I spent time playing with my dog Pippin; I suppose I haven’t mentioned Pip yet; he’s a wire haired Daschund (sausage dog) and I have a habbit of talking to him about life the unverse and whatnot (don’t be alarmed…… everyone does it ) I took this picture of him at Christmas time (If you’re wondering why he has a bow around his neck its because my twin sister likes to torture small animals for fun on feast days )
I got the recording back from the Gig in Ryan’s on the 27th and I couldn’t be happier with it although it does seem strange in parts where I’m engaging in friendly banter with the crowd and all you can hear are my replies! Its was really weird hearing myself recorded properly for the firt time! I have to say a big thanks to Paul Harmon for mastering it and Kev for doing the sound engineering, lads you’re legends! but you know that…… you got the drunken new years eve text message :P
Now I just have to make that special copy
And maybe a pit of poetry…………..
GIG:
Its silent up here;
They’re waiting, expecting, anticipating.
The weight is on you now;
Don’t screw up.
Make a mistake;
Just keep going thats all.
Bright lights make you sweat.
Or is it nerves?
Good crowd tonight;
Can’t let them down.
Start with the easy numbers;
Build up bit of confidence.
Nothing like a gig.
