Woke up next to the one i love opened the curtains, sunshine, not spring but cold cold sun. Back in the studio today with the band, lots to do, so exciting. Meanwhile mrs D is away with the sprats going to Longleat for a few days. Heaven in a duster. God knows life is a clean house and a garden green. The bad weather is set to last well into April, i can already feel the wind and rain on my face as i walk from the church to the party, but what can you do, its out of my hands, like life, i have little control over my destiny, i did but thats was then and this is tomorrow. Rain may fall but my heart will be filled with sunshine, with 17 days to go who really knows. Experts. Here in the warm studio im hearing a new mix, Chris Thomas is making things sound very Strypes, loud and clear, a gift. Today they get their first play on Radio One, tweeting and face booking are the order of the day, but in my day it was all down the pub to see if you were on the Juke box, or tune into medium wave John Peel for a listen to your session, it was so exciting then and its so exciting now. Within seconds hundreds of people are talking to each other, tweet, tweet. FB, FB. The word is out and the wedding is 17 bloody days away. Yikes almightily. We gathered around the radio (above) and tuned into radio one to hear the single being played for the first time, it felt historic, it was so exciting. The single sounded so great on the radio, and the DJ liked tit so much he played it twice in a row….Twitter and Facebook were being watched, it took me back to the Squeeze first single. I think it was on John Peel, i think i was excited and went to the pub to sip a few jars. I was king for a day. Tonight the band were happy as birds on a wire.
