Banana Log

This week's been pretty busy. Almost busy enough to warrant a blog...
I last posted on monday and have since been...questioned as to whether or not a fairly significant drama can be effectively summarised with one sentence. A good friend of mine usually summarises such differences of opinion with the helpful axiom "The End." I guess the lesson i've learned this week is that no matter how many times you try to walk away from a problem, it can't just be dropped and disregarded. Even though i've repeatedly tried to find a resolution, there seems to be another spanner in the works shortly afterwards. Is it better to reach an amicable solution or just bury your head in the sand if one can't be established? Can things just be "made" ok through attitude alone?

Fortunately, i had enough good banter with friends this week to divert my attention away from the activities in my own head. I also distracted myself with the task of making somebody smile which i feel, pending the word of its successful execution, might just work. I'm crafty like that.

Tuesday some new ideas were demofied for Kirstyn Knowles' next EP upon which i will be laying guitar parts which is a source of joy and excitement. Similarly, last night a meeting was held with Kirstyn Knowles bandmate and producer of excellence Garry Boyle in order to book studio time next month to start work on the next Fifty Caliber Smile EP. Looks like all systems are a-go when it comes to making of music. So hey, at least there's that.

Speaking of, tonight and tomorrow i'm guesting on guitar with John Reynolds in his guise as "Bird Of Prey" at Henry's and GRV/Green room, whatever the fuck they're calling it now in the cowgate, respectively. His music is all about honest songwriting and is hugely good. Worth a look on myspace for certain. Maybe if you're around you'll catch us!

Word of my craftiness and activities over the weekend will reach your eyes next week.
