Gaza

I just had a long and interesting conversion on the telephone with a gentleman from The Consul at the Embassy of Israel in Dublin.
Please engage in dialogue anyway you can, it is important to try to bring peace to the world.

Is this the second worst blog in the world?

This rotten pink blog Woman Honour Thyself really is horrible. So if you are sensitive, suffer from nervous disorders, a bad heart or epilepsy don't go there! Really, DO NOT GO THERE. You have been warned.


Here's the bitch that runs it:



Of course SNAKEHUNTERS is by far the worst blog I've seen so far!

Show and Tell #1 - Work

Anyway, I work from home mostly but sometimes in clubs, bars and quite often where I like it best, on the street.

Here is a photo of me and my dog and the tools of my trade, my guitars and some other sound equipment. Click on image to enlarge.





On the day in question I was working with my business partner Alan, we were writing a song, here is Alan laying down a bass line.




Alan and I have a band, or at least a selection of drummers we work with, Alan plays bass guitar, I play guitar and sing. At the moment, for copyright and other legal reasons, everything about our band, even the name is a secret.

Below is my workhorse guitar, Betsy. She's made in China, a nice strong Ibanez PF with a mahogany neck and body and a built in tuner. I use her for writing, practice and solo performances. She also doubles as a weapon, especially when I am busking at night. Hence the written warning.


I also have a nice mexican sunburst Fender Telecaster electric guitar, and a sunburst Legacy Precision Bass. We work from my house, except for band rehearsals with drums and big amplifiers which go on in large shed in the County Wexford Countryside.
