#mi soul

[lindsaywesker]

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in Blue Towelling Robe No. 1, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.  Happy Hump Day!

On Tuesday, I felt better and, today, I feel even better!  Last night, I was in bed by 10.00.  Sleep is the only medicine I need.  It wasn’t flu, it wasn’t a virus, but was it a cold?  I looked at my PC and there was mention of high pollen count in the news.  Maybe it was just hay fever?  I used to take tablets and nasal spray for hay fever.  Sod that!  I am not taking any drugs.  My body is a temple.  

Today, I will be working from home.  I’ve got a two-hour Zoom class at 11.00, then I’ll make myself a huge and unnecessary sandwich.  Last Wednesday, I worked 7.00 – 7.00.  Today will be the same. 

As I said yesterday, my next lesson is April 18.  I now have ample time to read, write, exercise and visit friends.  Family go to JA for a wedding on April 2nd, so I will be all on my jack until the 10th.  I will get so much work done!  I will be using that down time very productively!     

Have you ever heard the term ‘industry plant’.  It’s an unflattering term used to describe musicians who become popular through nepotism, inheritance, wealth or connections in the music industry rather than their own merits.  Of course nepotism exists in the music industry.  It always has.  It exists in every industry.  So what?  The truly talented have 50-year careers (like Smokey Robinson or Paul McCartney), while 95% of music acts fade away pretty quickly.  When I was a teen, I auditioned for acting school but didn’t use my father’s name.  If I had, I probably would’ve got in?  I wanted to be accepted on my own merits, so I guess I wasn’t good enough?  It’s cool.  I was happy with my decision.   

At 8.30 last night, I got some good news!  To be honest with you, I became aroused.  A short text message is all it took.  A missive from one of our favourite people, announcing that he is re-launching a legendary club night and he wants me to be part of it.  I am beyond happy!

Have a wonderful and well-endowed Wednesday.  I love you all.  Yes, a crazy, bald man loves and cares about you.

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting in my study, fully dressed and ready to go!  Welcome to 2024!

Welcome to the working week although, for those of you working in the NHS, welcome to just another day.

It’s currently 2.30 a.m.  The cab will be here at 3.30.  By the time most of you are reading this, I will be at Heathrow Airport, killing time.  Flight leaves at 8.00 a.m.  Ten-hour flight.  Arrives Montego Bay 1.00 p.m.

I’m going to spend a few days with a mate.  The rest of them are going to the family house.  I will join them in time for the wake.

Many thanks to everyone that listened to the radio show.  If you missed it, it’s up on Mixcloud.  It gave me a lot of pleasure to feature three acts that don’t get enough recognition: Sly & The Family Stone, Sylvester and The Salsoul Orchestra. 

My father in law’s funeral is on Saturday, January 6th, which is why I won’t be able to do my radio show.  I’ll be back live in the studio on Saturday, January 13th.

I wouldn’t describe this trip as a ‘holiday’.  The Trouble is there to bury her dad and give him a good send-off.  She’ll be fragile for a while. 

Definitely looking forward to some sunshine.  It’s 26 degrees in JA today, rising to 31 on Saturday.  I plan to be outdoors as much as possible and get some colour on this sad, pasty skin.

I’m taking my laptop, so I should be able to do some kind of status every day.  I’m looking forward to spending time with my JA family, who will ensure that Daddy’s funeral is a memorable day.

I hope your New Year’s Eve went well, whatever you did.  Some people like raving, while some are happy to drink (and fall asleep) in front of the TV.  I had fun at The White Lion, as you can see from my pictures.

2024 will be whatever you want it to be.  Yes, there will be challenges and disappointments (just like 2023) but that’s life.  Like Frankie Beverley said, life is a subtle balance of joy and pain, sunshine and rain.  Outside of the inevitable ups and downs, 2024 is down to you.  If you work hard and work smart, 2024 will be a brilliant year for you. 

Have a marvellous and momentous Monday.  I love you all.
