Watching a BBC live session with Paul Simon. Makes me think how he is undoubtedly is a great musician, but misses having Art Garfunkel's amazing singing voice with him. They churned out some amazing stuff in a short period when they were together I guess 40 years ago now. Still good to see these old names up and about though.
Today I managed to realise the predictable conclusion of a night of rock 'n' roll and plenty of booze at work pretty well. Oh hangovers at work, how I've missed you not very much. Having said that, its a little better than last summer when after a few gigs with work the next day, I'd end up just not bothering to go to bed, instead opting to drink and dance all night and then just go straight to work. Maybe I'm getting too old for that kind of stuff - not that its really necessary anyway.
Last night was a great show. Good crowd, good beer, good musicians playing. Our set was pretty well on form as well, maybe as good as we've played in a while. I think its hard not to be on good form when you're performing to a full house though - really gets you going. And its great to see people get out on a weekday for local music events, as it is sometimes a struggle to fill a venue and make it worth everybody's while. But last night was a good advert for it.
I always, however, and wherever we play a show, seem to feel kind of flat the next day. And not just because of the hangover. It's like the previous night you were something else. Just for a while. And maybe just in your head, but it doesn't really matter. It's like last night you were something special and today you're not. I'd love to at some point be able to perform everyday in one form or another.
