Happy Easter Everyone!

Not a big deal post. A bit off point and self indulgent. But hey ... Just feeling good.

Except for the odd tinker maybe every 5 years, I hadn't really played or practiced for 26 years (due to various reasons).

10 years ago I was meant to restart but things got in the way of that too.

I have to say that a lot of that was my own fault. And it was hard to get the feeling back.

And it is daunting after so many years away from it. Doubts, fears etc.

In 2018 and 2019 I was encouraged by my good musician friend David Lamers who I hadn’t seen for 28 years to do some recording up at the Gold Coast. I spent a week each time up there and we managed to get a few days recording time in each time overall. I have a lot to thank him for.

I was pretty raw and stale after so many years, but it gave me an inkling that I still might have some spark there.

In September last year, I finally had an opportunity to practice with no one around. (People were spared) It was pretty rusty.

Then I did my first live mic performance in 28 years in January this year. It went well and was a major weight off my sholders.

Now I am gradually getting back into the discipline of playing, singing, performing, recording and writing again. And something that hasn’t happened for so long … I am actually starting to enjoy it again.

I practice now as often as I have time. It has been interesting digging up my old songs – some written over 50 years ago. Soon I hope to complete some half written songs and create new ones again.

Still a long way to go.

I am just posting this because I am genuinely feeling the joy of playing again, enjoying the journey and want to make myself accountable as well.

A GENUINE REASON TO LEARN HANDS ON.. Use it or lose it.

This has become quite dramatic - especially with social media. You cannot become skilled at anything via digital alone. REAL learning comes from being engaged in person, being hands on and applying things in an supportive, constructive environmental space.

Something changed in 2010… and it’s scary.For the first time, this generation may be less cognitively equipped than the one before — and the biggest shift is...

It is absolutely staggering how people give up their dreams, their aspirations and their present moments - for money.

I am so grateful I never did. Yes, I have had to survive under extreme circumstances that delayed my dreams. But NEVER did I give them up or make money my master - even when for years it was an overwhelming burden.

Patience, perserverance, conviction, staying true to yourself - even under extreme ridicule and other pressures and circumstances. These are the qualities one should never sacrifice, ever.

Am I still learning? Do I still falter and make mistakes? Yes indeed.

To wait to be myself or to be as fully alive and vibrant as I can? Never.

If you are realising this now - great. Because it is never too late.

Waiting is an illness. It's a trickster. The only time is now - it always was and alweays will be.
