Dipping my toe back into the diary.  

Well, the first edit of the duo CD with Mr Greenberg is finally done - it looks like we might call it 'Spring Any Day Now' after the Fred Frith tune.  Marquis Classics even like the photo I sent them of a rather bent daffodil in my kitchen, which could end up being the cover image.  We'd recorded well over 80 minutes of music, and after a bit of ruthless pruning I've got it down to about 66 of really good stuff.  The out-takes and also-rans will have to wait until the 20th anniversary re-issue ...

I've also been looking at grant applications, as by some miracle the Chris Norman Ensemble are going to be in Scotland at the same time as we'd planned a week's work here.  The possibility of a double-bill tour suddenly presented itself, so the detailed probabilities and improbabilities of that are going to concern me for the next few days. Chris has also asked me over to the US to play with them a few more times in the coming season, which will be a treat.
