Hi All, friends and enemies!
How ya getting on in these conspiracy riddled times? I’m doing good myself, but then I have not a shred of paranoia in my head ( I burned it all out in the late 60’s / early 70’s.) If ‘they’ microchip me, I’ll still be outside ‘their’ jurisdiction because no man has been able to control me this far. Be my guest if you wanna try. Meanwhile I’m listening to the birds.
I also just listened to our very own ‘live keyboards’ master, Carwyn Ellis’s new releases on bandcamp, Cherry Blossom Promenade and Ti.
A little bit of back story on his latest: I introduced Carwyn to Kassin Kassin , one of the freakishly talented Brazilians I worked with ( Moreno Veloso, Domenico Lancellati and Kassin ) during a tour of Brazil with them in ( oops….I forget the date. About 17 years ago )
Kassin went on to produce Carwyn’s 2018 album Joia! to rave reviews / critical acclaim. (I even saw the iconic Welsh actor, Rhys Ifans, on a train last year and he made a point of coming over to me to tell me how much he liked it. That’s not really part of the back story but I enjoy name dropping, so Rhys Ifans, Rhys Ifans, Rhys Ifans )
So, Cherry Blossom Promenade and Ti – OUT NOW [LINK IN THE BIO]. (You may be a bit miffed to find Carwyn sings in Welsh, but most of you probably don’t speak Portuguese either.) FYI:
James and I are continuing on our Dylan series. It’s been great getting into the back catalogue and revisiting Bob’s lyrical genius. Tchad Blake and his magical alchemy makes them sound like we did not record them in lockdown on our phones, which we have. The big surprise are the video’s the Blake family have made in Wales to go with.
Listen, Watch, Enjoy. xch

‘A few years back when I saw an obit in the paper for the valve-trombonist, Bob Brookmeyer, I mailed my jazz sax-playing brother, saying “R. I. P. Bob Brookmeyer.” Terry, a man of few words, responded with “Valve Bone Woe,” a kind of Haiku beatnik prose.
In tribute to Extinction Rebellion… Here’s the video made by Kevin Godley featuring Dawn French made in 1988 for our environmental group ARK ( since disbanded ). RIGHT ON! – Chrissie Hynde
