Untruths | February 2025.

February 2nd:
Last night's gig was a rather terse affair. An advert was briefly and rather heatedly placed on Facebook this morning, then pulled. We've had offers of assistance at gigs, so we could keep going. Two of the band went off to talk about it before we played. As usual, I am not sure what good it actually did. But we have bigger concerns now and all that two of us want to do is simply get on with it while we can.

The gig itself was streamed live and I checked the youtube stream out and the live sound is unfortunately that not great. The mics simply couldn't cope with a rock band's volume. I managed to get a couple of decent images from it.

 

The Three

The Three

The Two.

We did our jam night this evening and discussions were had about recent problems. We will see what good those discussions did. I cancelled an audition for tomorrow afternoon as I can't be arsed doing it. I can see the end of my playing career in plain sight now. I will not opt to carry on with the jam night next year and if the band are still going then, it will have slowed down considerably.

February 8th:
The week has gone by in a blur of book work and tiredness. I've been going to bed at stupid times for a while now, and it is catching up with me. The updates, additions and and re-writes to the book I am working on are endless and have expanded the book by about 50 pages. I got a phone call from Oncology on Thursday that my cancer reading has gone down to 0.03, which is a bit of a relief. I've seemingly changed from being a hoarder to an Ebay trader, putting a large number of books and CD's up for sale, as well as a couple of guitars. I've done well this last week, but let's see if that continues. I can't see any significant space on my bookshelves yet.

I had a good long phone catch up with one of my friends yesterday, after my cancer result came through. He's been through it a bit over Christmas and January and has been keeping himself to himself. He seems to have come out the other side of his woes. If I had known, I would have gone over to see him.

Last night's gig in Burnley was ok, and we played fairly well but...... I was tired.... and I didn't really get much of a lift from playing. On the way home, I heard on Radio 4 that Donald Trump is saying that, for the UK to avoid crippling tarriffs, the Government has to give unfair tax breaks and exemptions to Amazon and a couple of other companies. The man is clinically insane if he thinks that's going to happen. Time to mend fences with Europe.

February 11th:
I've sold a few more things on Ebay. A lovely Gibson SG guitar went on Sunday. I felt a slight pang at letting it go, but it's hardly been played and I sometimes wondered why I bought it. It's mainly books and CD's that are going. Plus a couple of quite valuable vinyl EP's.

I went to the hospital this morning and had an interesting and very rewarding appointment with the Audiology department. It's sorted a couple of problems out quite noticeably.
