Yesterday would have been Chris' 63rd birthday . Part of my misspent teenage years was spent looking after him and his brother Mark as I was seven and nine years older than them. Our family holidays were to Cornwall and I used to take them to Seaton beach where I had a crush on a girl that worked in the beach cafè. Seaton river was dammed by the riptide shingle and in the lagoon that formed I taught them how to skim stones.

In the end, counseling is cheaper than a breakdown.
Macbeth is about a woman.
Building digital edifices has disguised the collapsing of the real world.

I'm tryin' to do a Chris White Vol 2 with 36 songs on...

23/03/2021

Weirdly the lineup of the Mag 7 me and Chris shared was entirely sometime members of Cardiacs. Mick Pugh on bass, Graeme Simmonds on guitar, Dominic Luckman on drums, me on keys and trombone. Chris loved brass instruments and I think he wanted me to join for the trombone over the keyboard playing. Tim Hills.

“I had some happy times here with young Jack, he wasn’t sad but he wasn’t happy. Shell Beach is one of the best recordings I’ve ever done. No seagulls. The narration at the end. The tide. What do you do when there are no more shells left to cast off ?.“
Mastered By Barry Grint.
