    Room to breathe

    I don't suffer from claustrophobia - but I know those who do -and that supposedly irrational fear can seem very real when it is happening. Support the show

    Follow it through

    I realise that I now am starting to sound like my father - there is real merit in following something through to the bitter end - even if you think its completely wrong.  Just the experience of doing something you really dislike reminds you never to go there again.. Support the show

    Catch me if you can

    This is the one that didn't get on to the latest release from Guitar Emporium "Mr Jobsworth" - I like it - but it got the chop. Not sure why - although I realised that I get a little carries away with "handclaps" in tunes - I think that must be from listening to so much of Stealers Wheel a long long time ago.

    Shifting sands

    This is the Co-pilot results for a Shifting Sands Search: "Shifting sands" refers to both literally moving sand and metaphorically to situations that are constantly changing or unstable. Oh wow! Thats just for starters - here we go ...... Literal Meaning In a literal sense, shifting sands describe sand that moves due to wind, water, or other natural forces, commonly found in deserts, beaches, or sandbanks. This movement can bury objects, reshape landscapes, and create dynamic environments, as seen on Sable Island or storm-lashed desert worlds in games like Shifting Sands on Steam, where sandstorms reset the terrain daily Merriam-Webster +2. Figurative or Idiomatic Meaning Figuratively, shifting sands is an idiom used to describe situations that are unstable, unpredictable, or constantly changing, making them difficult to manage. For example, one might refer to the "shifting sands of government policy" or "the shifting sands of Arab politics" to highlight the fluid and uncertain nature of these contexts Collins Online Dictionary +1. It emphasizes the challenge of maintaining stability or making decisions when circumstances are in flux. Cultural References Literature and Media: The phrase appears in titles of books, plays, and stories, often symbolizing change or uncertainty. Works like Shifting Sands by Amjad Islam Amjad explore personal and societal transformations over decades The Free Dictionary.Gaming: In World of Warcraft, "Shifting Sands" is a spell that temporarily boosts allies, metaphorically reflecting adaptability in changing conditions Wowhead. The Steam game Shifting Sands immerses players in a desert world where sandstorms constantly alter the environment, reinforcing the literal and metaphorical concept of unpredictability I called the piece shifting sands - because at weekends I take my dog for a walk on a shingle beach - but shifting shingle doesn't have the same ring to it... Its about the best time of the week - and I was experimenting with shifting rhythms - cross rhythms- some work  - but some don't Support the show

    It’s coming back

    This is a tune for those days when you want things to be better than they are. Think of one thing that you love doing and imagine "its coming back". Ridiculous - I know - but it sometimes ( not always ..) it helps Support the show

    Layers

    The monthly CD release is on "support the show" - click for more details. The release for the month of October came out on the 1st of the month - the CD is called " Mr Jobsworth" . "Layers"  is taken from the Mr Jobsworth CD - it was written in 2024. It appeals to the conspiracy theorist in me - how much of any situation is revealed to us mere mortals on the shop floor by our elders and betters? Support the show
