Well as anyone who read the last few blogs will know TSE meet up in Belfast for our first group session (practising not, as some people may think, a trip to the local psychiatric clinic).

Coming away from this session we were all quite excited, what with things starting to click, tunes beginning to form and all sorts of other exciting and new feelings (accomplishment, etc). I regretfully feel i need to inform everyone now of my crippling writers block!!

I have been to a specialist and will be starting physiotherapy to hopefully “kick-start” my brain. There is also a search warrant out on my muse so if anyone spots her or knows any good music she may be hiding in please contact me as soon as possible!

Anyway, enough of me rambling. Unfortunately i’m probably not going to be great at relaying cohesive thoughts on this thing but sure we’ll see where we land.

So, yes, what i was going to mention was the ukulele flyer handout session. I seemed to delight, offend and mainly startle people, which is generally peoples reaction to me anyway so no change there.

I wish i had made more flyers as just when i had finished and was walking home with my ukulele in tow i past many people who quite clearly would have loved a little piece of paper about experiments during the summer… but alas they had to do with my rendition of “Somewhere over the Schism” – a beautiful amalgamation of TOOL’s “Schism” and The Wizard of Oz’s “Somewhere over the rainbow” and is currently the only thing i can “play” on the ukulele!

But hopefully soon i’ll be out on the streets with other classics like “Raindrops keep falling on my stinkfist” and “Can’t live without a Hooker with a penis”.

I’m honestly not sure what else to write now, not that there’s not more to write just that the last fake song title i wrote is hard to follow. So this is probably the best time for me to zip up as one of us fine gentlemen will be back shortly to update some more… or waffle uncontrollably until his minder returns!
