blues du jour

first iPhone recording on my behalf, at home, by the speakers. not much of a melody here. but with a melodica and a 606 you’ve got all the cock-a-doodle-doo you need on a eurovision song contest saturday evening.

i´m not superstitious about this day but a few of my all time favourite chord, the major7#4, wont hurt. add a 3/4, a couple of extra bars and we have a killer war song.

last night i cut myself on a razor sharp kitchen knife. blood everywhere. today i went to the doctor who would have stitched it had i got there earlier. she taped it neatly instead. i guess i was lucky, it could have been much worse, but it´s rather annoying since i take pride in being handy with the knife. who are you supposed to trust if you can´t trust yourself even?

in my room at bryggarhuset where i teach piano students on mondays there´s a crappy piano branded ‘bach’. that however didn´t have any effect on todays theme, which is dedicated to anyone who´s defending their thesis.

today i met my brother tomas at a café on ringvägen. as we sat by the table outside in the beauteous sun this really old gentleman stumbled by, leaning on his walker, smoking his cigarette. he started to chat and told us it was his name day. may 8 says ‘Åke’ in the swedish calendar. then he asked if we would sing him a song so we sang ‘For he´s a jolly good fellow’, which was very true in his case. cheers old sir.
