Funnily enough Rob asked me to drop in on 'Heaven in a Wildflower''s rehearsal at the Dockside studios on Monday. I was only able to manage the last half an hour as Sue had the car at work and I had to walk there (it's about half a mile, across the footbridge) carrying my Joe Pass semi-acoustic (Epiphone Emperor) and my small practice amp.

They were going great guns when I got there. Amy the vocalist sounded and looked good. They were disappointed I hadn't brought my bass but I told them I wanted to put it to one side for a year and see what happened. I said to Ben I could play deep and growly rhythm but he said 'There's only deep and growly rhythm in this band and I play it!'
