Looks like the gig is going ahead as we will be in Level 2.

If you feel like stepping out, do come along. I'll be joining my friend Ben Fernandez who has just released a delightful album of songs composed during Lockdown 1.0.

Here's one that I played on:

Jo Shum – bass
Andrew Hall – vocals. flute, saxophone

Be there, I will.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Thanks for the kind words, but I was lucky to be in great company in that video. You should hear some of the noodling that gets passed off for playing when I’m on my own 😂

Okay Warren, tell us what happened at 1:14 in? I can't hear anything wrong but you seem to be 'pulling a face'...

Haha I think I was just getting ready to attack the next phrase (the main melody). My guitar faces are sometimes not the prettiest 🥳

Ah c'mon... you're one of those guys that could do a particularly noisy dump in a public toilet and the guy in the next cubicle would be all "wow dude, great melody!".
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

You're no gary moore or john mayer, thankfully just in the face department.
