Cutting Onions

So I am no longer a member of Famous Belcrum Recording. It was a wrench to say the least but I can't commute from Chaing Mai every Thursday to rehearse.. It really has been wonderful to play with Ed all these years, and listen to Rose and then Karlien taking our twiddling to new levels. I feel we were a perfect band. Loved playing and fed off each others energy and joy, such happy memories will stay with me a long time..

Sigh....honestly it was horrible to play what was my last ever gig with them, I barely survived with my dignity... there were a lot of tears, even the audience, (no it wasn't my singing).... our last song together was Rollarcoaster by Danny Vera, a lovely song about overcoming the highs and lows of life by being together... It also has become a popular funeral song in NL.. and when we played it an audience member started crying remembering his mothers funeral.. 

Ah well... As I posted on Facebook, new chapters don't mean the end of the book, but that chapter is now done, and it was fucking wonderful
