Off to So’ton on Sunday. It’s time I admitted I’m shitting myself, probably more so than the last time I went off to University. Is this a mistake? Have I got myself sorted out enough over the last year? Do I really know what I need to do differently this time, or am I just going to fuck it up all over again? Only time will tell.
On an unrelated note, I’ve been listening to Spiers and Boden again recently (initially in order to check that the copy I’d made for a friend worked properly*), and once again, John Spiers is really pissing me off. Damn it, man, how the hell do you do that? It just isn’t fair that one person should have that much talent. The same goes for quite a few other people, actually, but they don’t play melodeon, so it’s less annoying.
*It didn’t. The last track was broken, so I had to do another one.
Don’t let me search for Frank when I want to read you! :)
Very well, that will no longer be necessary.
I have total faith that it’ll be fine. Lightning doesn’t strike twice etc. etc.
Why not buy your friend an album? If you admire Mr Spiers’ playing – and it sounds like you do – then you should consider not ripping him off. Folk musicians earn crap money and every CD they sell counts.
