Not sure where the last 4 weeks have got to since I last posted any covers. I’ve tried to dip in and out to listen and comment but haven’t done very well with that either (planning to have a bit of a catch up this week).
Since the start of 2025 I’ve spent a lot of time looking after one of my dogs who had surgery on her knee and is on long term crated rest. Hoping that from today she will be allowed out for short walks, but she still has to be carried everywhere- up and down stairs, outside to pee etc- so it has been massively time consuming. Luckily, she is only 10 kilos (22 pounds?), so not too difficult to carry, but I still managed to put my back out last week!
On top of all that, I think I might have just been feeling a bit of new year burnout but I’m slowly getting my music head back on. I’ve been tidying up my home office/music room, learning how to set up my guitars (about time I learnt to do it myself), dusted off my bass guitar that I’ve not played in a long while, and started recording some original songs that I wrote last year but had only made scratch demos for.
Yesterday, I decided it was time to get back to some covers and had loads of fun trying to work out new songs. And of course, it’s a good time to warm up for FAWM. No longer a FAWMling, but it’s safe to say I have created more music in the last 12 months than I had in the previous 15 years
