Sometimes, when you are your lowest ebb, when all hope seems to have faded and you wonder exactly how you can even begin to think about carrying on, a small token arrives that rekindles that fire. Firstly, an e-acquaintance sent me a donation to the Darren Lock Benevolent Fund, which reduced this big fat idiot to a blubber of tears. The cash donation will buy Verity a Xmas present. I’ve had some nice messages of support from the various e-pals I’ve met on my virtual travels and while they are comforting and go to restore your faith in humankind, they also put it all into stark relief and make you realise what an impossible position you are stuck in. But I am very grateful for their concern and warmed by their words – if only real people were as nice.
On a separate note, I received a short, but very sweet, email from Miltos from Greece who appears to be digging my tunes:
“You are fantastic, man.Thanks for the music”
It’s a pleasure. I’m in the process of rebuilding my recording rig so that it is more portable and it means that I can be creative and move everything really quickly for the next time I have to up sticks and ski-daddle off to pastures new. I am hoping to return to recording really soon and have some new things for you to enjoy.
