Prog points

This may or may not tag me as a 'musician'.

My 'ex', Kit Watkins, has just released his latest CD "SkyZone", a collection of ambient/experimental/meditative music previously unreleased on his other works. Included among the tracks is a piece that we did as a jam one night, "Harmonic Hum". This has me with a guitar, my ebow, lots of reverb along with Kit on keys and his new-at-the-time Yamaha fretless bass. The track resembles something Steve Roach might have come up with. Anyway, this one recording of us managed to find it's way out of the dustbin of obscurity and into a released CD. I forgot how flowing and dreamy the piece was.

I guess I really should dust off the axes here and try playing again. My increasingly stiff fingers keep telling me otherwise. Oh well. At least in terms of obscure progressive music, I have gained a point in street cred.

Go me!

(Kit's website is set to randomly play songs from SkyZone. "Harmonic Hum" is in the rotation. You can click the button on the upper right of the frame to turn off the music then turn it back on again, repeating the process until the track shows up. Better yet, leave it play, turn it up a bit, and relax.)

Stiff fingers?

[notdefined.livejournal.com]

Have you tried taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate? I have taken it for years. My family has a long history of crippling arthritis and coupled with the hip fracture I had in 2004, I knew I would have been in trouble. So far, I have managed to ward off the aches and stiffness with the exception of last winter when I had quit taking it. I also tend to lift somewhat heavy things, so protecting my joints is always at the top of my list.

I've taken it in the past, with somehat mixed results. I should try again and stay on it for a fair period of time and see how things go.

As for you lifting 'somewhat' heavy things, the same can be said for forklifts and cranes in comparison. ;)
