MONDAY 25 FEBRUARY

Ta-daa !!! - this one's okay !!! - after a week or two of duds old Sonja has got her Mojo back. It's not brilliant - or even very good - but it has a lightness and joy about it. Fans will ask me - oh if ONLY - why do you bother uploading music that you admit is rubbish ? - and I would reply that I've seen too many musicians fall crashing to the ground clutching their weighty perfectionism - waiting till they do something perfect. All my perfect stuff is decades old and no one knew it was perfect at the time - not even me.

When my first marriage started falling apart I one day lost my temper and destroyed every guitar in the house - I hate the guitar and was stupid to have married a guitarist. The next thing I knew - after the divorce - there was my ex's photo on an inside page of the Wire - holding one end of a huge bloody homemade one-string kinda cello-thingy - and crediting me with having simplified his life and breaking
his "musicians' block".

Sometimes I watch my ex on youtube - getting 150 new hits every day. "We hate it when our friends get famous" - or our exes - but I just think of him scraping that stupid big log out in a garden shed in a freezing tiring February afternoon and I just laff all over again - stuff'll soon be in the post to people who were promised stuff - and if you want a free CDR of this masterpiece send an email.
