美容室にて

この前、近所の美容室へ行ったときのこと。髪をシャンプーしてもらっている時、いつもと違うほのかないい香りが漂ってきました。お店の人にきいてみると、「桜のシャンプーなんですよ」という返事でした。桜の香りがする無添加のシャンプーだそうです。とーってもリラックスできてアロマセラピーのようでした。

Spring…

…is finally truly here I think. Very warm day today, I think Monday was winters last shout for this year. The cherry blossom seems quite random/late as to when and where it’s out this year. I still (touch wood!) don’t have any hay fever reaction, which is lucky, as I know some people are having quite a strong reaction.

風穏やかで暖かし。

Live

Yesterday, The English Village Band played a “rock and roll” lunchtime gig in a live music  house in Mizue. We had a really good time performing there!!!

The audience was larger than we expected, given the current situation.

In our sort of “half  time” break, we really enjoyed chatting with our guests.

We were glad to hear that our audience could get a lot of energy from us. We’re so grateful to the people who braved the current nightmare to come and hear our performance.

We thank them all!!

English Village Background Music

Several years ago, I came across a website containing the scores of many British folk melodies, some of which I harmonized, arranged and recorded on my electronic piano. I copied the music files to floppy disk and also saved the recordings on an MD. My plan was to have the pieces transferred to CD and then play them as background music in the school. Things didn’t work out. My piano disk drive and MD player both broke down and MDs became obsolete. It seemed all was lost and my efforts, such as they were, had been a waste of time. I felt disappointed, to put it mildly. Anyway, I happened to come across the old floppy disk recently and, for some reason or other, shoved it into the dead disk drive of my piano. Picture my amazement when the moribund thing came back to life. I grabbed my tiny mp3 recorder and, somewhat riskily, connected its microphone socket to the headphone socket of my piano. The recordings that resulted can be heard here:

The sound is rather “hissy”, which, given the recording circumstances, is hardly surprising, but I’m pleased the pieces survived at least. I’ve also uploaded a simple composition of my own called Little Drum, which is the “theme tune” for the English Village website.

Moving House

Always convoluted/confusing-am now going through the ‘Can’t remember where I packed things’ phase. But it could also lead to another demonstration of my legendary bookshelf making skills-I definitely didn’t inherit the practical/DIY gene in my family.
