I have found the secret to happiness......Recording Happiness that is!

I bought a Behringer B2 Pro Microphone a while ago and was really pleased with it. But last night I plugged it into my Art Pre amp and was made a very happy man by the quality of the sound. I made a rough recording of a new song "Falling Feathers" which was inspired by a Native American painting on the wall of my stairway.
Here's a photo of the microphone, a little geeky but still....



And a photo I like of a Native American in full headress....

Smiley Culture R.I.P


It is with sadness that I post these thoughts about Smiley Culture, known internationally for his hits "Police Officer" and "Cockney Translator". He "allegedly" stabbed himself while he was in police custody in his own home on the 15th March. A 1000 strong crowd has marched to highlight not only the tragedy of his death but to draw attention to the amount of people who have died in Suspicious circumstances whilst in Police custody. There is a facebook group set up here....www.facebook.com/Campaign4Justice4SmileyCulture , In my youth I regularly blasted "Police Officer" from my bedroom window and was amazed the first time I saw him on Top Of The Pops! Bless Up "Smiley Culture"
