Rain For Sale

Not just a comment on the current financial crises, or indeed a weather observation but the title for the new album has been chosen - Rain For Sale.

A draft copy is on its way to me now and over the holiday period i hope to have inspiration for the artwork and then it should all fall into place early next year. More updates to follow.

I am still getting used to this blog so will be adding other features as and when i learn how to do it so please bear with me whilst this work in progress, progresses. In the meantime feel free to drop me a message or leave any comments

CD & 2009

A friend of mine gave me an idea which i plan to kick start on the 1st of January 09. Instead of writing a diary, I plan on taking a photo everyday for the next year, hopefully capturing the various moods, sights, musical journeys, activities, people, food, beer, accidents (if this year was anything to go by)etc etc .. that are encountered across the next year.

I also think this is a great way to blog, something which ive really not tried before, as i can upload the pictures and say a few words about what is or is not happening. I doubt this will happen everyday, but i will and try and upload the images ,say, on a weekly basis. At present i am still trying to figure out what blog space would be best to use. any ideas? until i get organised with a new web site.

-thinking of www.squarespace.com ? as my lack of html is stopping reaping the benefits from the full wordpress blog.

I should be able to get off to a flying start with the photos and blogging as i will be bringing in the new year in Christchurch, New Zealand aswell as visiting Japan and Hong Kong.

Ive already been offered and had to turn down a music festival in the South Island of NZ due to logistical problems in flight arrivals and nz drive times, but we will see what the trip brings.

Cheers
John
