Spreading myself far too thin. Mainly working out versions of "Sam Hall' and 'Rounding the Horn' on the 5-string banjo in double-C tuning.

Also on a version of 'Cumberland Gap' (from Alec Slater's modal banjo book), in which I'm trying to add some lyrics about the A-road north of Carlisle that the UK's cumberland gap has now been appended to.

Also trying to mix and master an album's worth of my own songs - I'm doing a weekly evening course at the City Lit in London about mixing and mastering (taught by Andy Diagram from James, The The and the Diagram Bros).

I really could do with being made redundant. I hate my job, badly need some extra time, and could probably just about subsist on freelance work and a generous redundancy package for about a year.
