Percussion Day

Today is the turn of percussion to be added to the songs.

I hear footsteps every so often, heading out to various store places and returning with some rattly or shaky :)  Little touches to add colour and rhythm to the guitar tracks that are already in place.

The studio started off this morning with a small drum kit and a set of congas, but I bet if I go in now there'll be a lot more things lying around.

I'm staying out of the way and enjoying an unexpected day off at home - we were due to be off visiting but that got postponed much to our relief this morning.   It's a rare treat to have a Saturday or Sunday at home.   So I'm away catching up on bits of things and am studiously ignoring all the cleaning that could and should be done :)

I hope your weekend's going well.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter my dear blogging friends.  I hope you have a lovely weekend and that the sun shines on you and yours. With Easter being so early this year it's not quite as warm as we'd like, but the sun has been shining gloriously here all day.

We've been in the studio all day, finishing up a great guitar session for the new CD.  Gerard Thompson has been doing the honours and his playing is just lovely.   A lot of my own playing has stayed too, something I'm very pleased and just a tad proud of.  

Rockpools and seagrass 

Once we'd finished up Tom and I went out for a short walk on the beach - there's heat in the sun and a chance to get the camera out.  

Lots of rock pools today ... brought me back to being a child and nosying around - and the seagrasses are starting to flower.

 And a very low tide

So before we pack up the car to head over West to visit my Mum for the long weekend I thought I'd take a minute and wish you all a Bright and Restful weekend.  Maybe the weather will be good enough for a picnic in the woods.
