the candle burns

good morning cruel world.
good morning beautiful chances.

this week has been full and we're just past half way.we shot half of the video yesterday,today is the downtown day with some extras and generally more people.

it's my first video with the excellent sophie muller.we have been friends for a long time but never worked together so this is a new strand to our friendship.
it's been a long time coming and i'm thrilled we're in it.
totally guerilla style,with just a few people helping,and shooting around where we live.
at the same time we have to mix the show from orlando,so some serious multi-tasking going on.
and burning the candle wherever there is wax.need more sleep.
and of course no matter what time you get to shut your eyes-the precision of a
2 year old ready to meet another day is unwavering.
marching,animals,chalk,footballs,songs,waffles and searching for snails-
it's a revolving door of fascination.
and he's so into it,it's hard to not share his joy.need coffee.strong,thick,eye-opening and above all,helpful.

i hear the record is going great at radio which is brilliant.thankyou for your support if you've been calling and requesting.

we also auditioned some keyboard players a couple of days ago.i liked them all.it is really not my favourite thing to have different people come in and try out.i would make a lousy doorman as i would let everyone in.

anyhow i am close to a decision,as we start rehearsals for the tv shows next week.
we also have some online sessions.so it is a tough call but one we need to make.

well,i'd better get into gear-
book of the week-
