From darkness to light, the Net candle burns, and the Phoenix rises.

Yes folks, here we are again, hope this finds you well. I am good, mostly, still get down sometimes, just like anyone. However, the songwriting is going really well, I have written two great numbers, "A Perfect Storm", and "Rainbow Rising". They mark a departure for me, both are a less frantic tempo, they are quieter, and smouldering, below the surface. Very powerful. Also bought myself a brand new white Gibson Les Paul, which is all I hoped it would be, and more. Lovely, low action, easy to tune, and a marvellous sound. Kris Kristofferson (RIP). A great loss. At parties, I sometimes do "Help Me Make It Through The Night". Fond memories. Yes, the album, to be called simply "Net", will have 10/12 tracks, including the above numbers. So far things are shaping up well, we are adding to the tunes organically, all three of us have ideas. It's really dynamic. Hope you are well out there. I was going with a smooth vocal approach, but have had a change of heart, and am using takes with a more gravel-like snarl. Rohan and Al, on bass and drums, really are marvellous, no stone is left unturned. We are gelling together well, and getting tight. Was at a songwriter's convention yesterday, and made a few contacts, DJs, PR heads etc. Yes, depression (bipolar) still under control, big time. No real problems at all. I have actually begun to reduce my meds, and am feeling even better. Hang in there, you can do it too. My thoughts and prayers are with you, as always. Love 'n' Hugs, yours, Eja xxx.
