Apologies to you readers...
There is a very good reason for the delay...
It isn't just laziness and prioritizing quality time with someone special (oh and work too I suppose)...
Actually that IS just it. : p
And to top it off, I'm going off for the weekend (no internet land!).
Scandalous, I know.
Sorry to leave you all hanging!
Under the gables will come to an end next week.
Yep I said it and in so doing I have hung Damocles' sword above my head.
In the meantime I grabbed some music from a recent jam session and stuck holiday pictures in to make a video.
"Must placate the readers, must placate the readers..."
My lover, a friend, and I in the basement.
They are good amateur musicians... I can't really keep up, but at least I can deal with the recording and edit.
In case you were wondering, they were both on steel string guitars, I was on flute and percussion.
Sorry for the noise in the recording:
one mike for three people and taxed low end gear.

oh noooooooooo! what happens next? what happens next? what happens next?
ReplyDelete...I hope I still have fingernails left when you get back from the weekend.
And here we have another multi-talented writer, well able as a musician on flute and percussion.
ReplyDeleteThis music is beautiful. I'd love a picture of you all.
Dude. That was awesome. And now, I'm incapable of getting out of my chair, on account of that relaxing FLUTE!! *oozes to the coffeemaker* But seriously? Nice stuff, man. Nice. OH! And your internal conflict piece yesterday?? Holy shizz. You used "phantasmagoric". Do you know how freakin nuts it is to enjoy a word so much? Yeah.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun and Internetless weekend! I'll check back next week for more story.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,looking forward to the rest of the story.
ReplyDeleteLovely music
Lovely music. Wow. A triple threat! I am off as well for an internetless weekend...are we meeting somewhere and I forgot :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Have a great time away.;) I have been off line myself the past two days, so I am glad I have not missed any of your stories.;)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason that clip wont play for me.
Have a lovely weekend,

We all need a good break sometimes! Hope you have a lovely weekend away, looking forward to your posts next week! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely flute playing...

Wow, hello everyone. It looks like almost everyone who ever commented on this blog did so again on this post. Lovely, thanks for stopping by everyone!
ReplyDeleteThe guitars are awesome, almost as awesome as the guitarists. I couldn't really do much to complement it, partially because of lack of skill partially because of technical reasons. It might amuse you to know that to get the levels right I had to play in the room above! That's part of why the flute sounds so flat. I appreciate you all being so forgiving of it and I'm glad you all enjoyed the musical interlude.

@Khnoum: It's ok, if you run out of fingers I hear cadbury sells them... ; j

@Elisabeth: You're much to generous in your use of title writer and musician. : j I'm just a dilettante. As for a picture... Sorry, no can do. I'm camera shy.

@Zoe: Ha! Glad you liked it. My lover claimed kinship on the oozing to the coffee machine experience. Yeah, did I tell you that you triggered under the gables?
-
@Theresa: Thanks, I did. I ate a lot of lovely things! Yikes the story! Must write write write!

@Lulu: Thanks for dropping by! I'm getting cracking at churning out the next part as soon as I finish this comment.

@Annie: Shucks, that's too bad, I could have cooked some delicious for you had you showed up. I'm guessing we just missed each other. : j
-
@Zuzana: Hey there! Hmm.. Odd it doesn't work. You're essentially missing to excellent amateurs skillfully improvising on the guitar, and me polluting on top with a cheap Irish flute. : j
If you really want to hear it, I could send you the Mp3 direct.

@Sangu: Heya Sangu, so what did you wind up doing to Steve for his bday picture posting? : j
-
@Maria: Hey Maria, thanks... You're too kind. And thanks for stopping by. : j
-
@Julie Dao: Yeah, they really do!

@Jillien: They seemed to have enjoyed it, and to have forgiven me for making noise in the background. : j I think We'll try again when I get back from the US.
