My last entry concluded by announcing an assault on a 'to do' list. Paper lists get lost so today's will be on the blog. That will make a handy reference to see how much has been done.

The 'sacred texts' chapter is begun and its structure largely planned. I have been avoiding writing much of the text; reading Gaza Vermes on Jesus and David Turner on Tango is so much easier and thus so tempting a distraction. Today I will resist such distraction and attend to the following:

1. Italian songs for Friday night at Kidderminster.

2. Follow up of 'Win a Mini' contacts made yesterday.

3. Guitar prac.

4. Southwell Music Prac.

5. Complete more of New Chapter

Olly's trombone playing in the charts with 'Oystar' on the Bank Charges song is worth a mention. It is witty and catchy (the song and video that is; the trombone adds that extra oomph to the final chorus). I can see why making money from recordings might be difficult if all is downloadable for free on You Tube. Must broadcast that to friends and contacts; a No. 6 for the 'to do' list.

After nearly a year I feel I have a positive working relatonship with Sharon Joshi in Telecom Plus. Yesterday's Carboot at Calverton was but a beginning. Andy Maile, her 'upline' is an easygoing 'can do' character. We should see some results over the spring and summer. That is a No. 7 for the 'to do' list. For a more effective appearance at Fairs etc. we need a much tidier act. We shall get it together over the next few weeks.

That's it. Time to assault the list.
