Not much though – just gradually easing myself in.
I had a couple of radio programmes to write for Radio Anglais – for the rock music shows that we broadcast onn Radio Tartasse. It took me a while to find the hard drive with the music on before I could start anything, but that’s all finished and up and running. I’m using a few songs from the enormous pile of CDs that I bought earlier. Did I mention that I bought no less than 20 CDs from various second-hand stores in Canada and the USA?
For the live concert, I’m treating my listeners to a surprise in December. Together with Neil Young and Warren Zevon, I’ve been taking an enormous amount of mickey out of one particular group. Due to tragic circumstances that unfolded, maybe it’s not a very clever thing to continue it these days and so as a kind of homage, I’ll be playing a concert, the tape of which I discovered in a Salvation Army charity shop in Presque Isle, Maine. Rare is not the word unfortunately, but nevertheless there’s quite a twist in the tail of this concert.
Anyway, that took me the best part of the mornng, particularly as it took me an age to make the external CD Drive function properly.
This afternoon I’ve tidied up in here and reconfigured things a little. Tidying up was exciting of course, but I’ve not yet managed to make my new laptop work with the wifi on the Livebox here. However, as I discovered, it does work of an ADSL cable, so I’ve had to move my office around a little so the cable can reach the laptop.
I’ve also been doing another web page. A musician called Thom Swift has seen my sample pics of his performance at the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival and wants to see more of them. The easiest way is to do a web page with them all on, and so I’ve been working on that. It’s not finished yet but hopefully I shall have it done tomorrow.
I need to get my pages up on line asap.
