Don’t Try This At Home
Despite advancing years I still like to take risks with my music.
That’s Not Helping
With Knobs On
Since my Korg MS2000 died some years ago I’ve lacked synth related knobs to twiddle – but no longer…
Organisation Is Key
My comprehensive note taking, detailed logging, and carefully indexed filing system means that if I’m ever looking for how an old tune is played I can often find it in only one or two days.
It’s Windy On The Coast
Tucked away on the end of the Mr Slater’s Parrot Kyra video were the perils of catching the wind on the south coast whilst employing our one video idea for The Pop Art Affair album.
How Alarming
Could have done without this alarm going off intermittently for the last six hours (currently 2am in the UK).

He Has His Lucid Intervals
After dinner toast at Little Menlo
Spoken by: Arthur Sullivan, composer

George Gouraud:
From Gouraud to Edison, continuation of introduction of friends. Now listen to the voice of Sir Arthur Sullivan.
Arthur Sullivan:
Dear Mr. Edison,
If my friend, Edmund Yates has been a little incoherent, it is in consequence of the excellent dinner, and good wine which he has drunk. Therefore, I beg you would excuse him. He has his lucid intervals.
For myself, I can only say that I am astonished and somewhat terrified at the results of this evening’s experiment — astonished at the wonderful power you have developed, and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever. But all the same, I think it is the most wonderful thing that I have ever experienced, and I congratulate you with all my heart on this wonderful discovery. Arthur Sullivan.
