My final post of last year ended with, “HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2021 WILL BE AMAZING!”.
That didn’t age well, did it?
I do hope you’re keeping well, and safe, and sane? We’re fine here, I mean, going slightly mad by staring at Zoom all day, but I’m grateful to still be working. As well as the drum lessons, I’ve accidentally started teaching English, too, to students who have English as a second language and want to brush up their skills in the form of writing a story. It’s going remarkably well, we’ve written some lovely drama so far.
With the drum lessons, I really want something good to come of this lockdown, not, just ‘ticking over virtually until we’re allowed out again’ so we’ve started recording an album with all of my drummers purely on zoom. It’s working really well, a lot better than it has any right to do. More soon, but I’m looking forward to having my producer hat on and putting this all together at some point and releasing it as a charity album to raise money for the food banks. Sounds dramatic, but drums can really save lives, can’t they?
Otherwise, I’m missing gigging so much, and writing a lot of stuff. So much. Pretty much the same as a majority of 2020, then.
Anyway, best get back to shouting at a screen. Stay well and stay indoors!
