The show goes on right?

Millage's service was the other day. Another notable KC Blues player, Kool Aid, went recently as well.

Between the ravages of time and COVID, well, it's been a time hasn't it?

It appears that the pressure builds up behind things until it breaks free.

After what seems an age, there are a flurry of song releases imminent. If I am lucky, I'll get some of the web changes I have been aiming for done.

We do what we can, while we can, and appreciate what we do.

The show goes on. We might be in Claytons Lockdown 3 atm, and gigs might be for the brave, yet we are still working away.

It's chinese new year shortly and 2022 is here for real. Time to get on with it.

When Stormcellar were The Millage People

Vale, Millage Gilbert

It is with tremendous sadness that we mark the passing of Millage Gilbert, one of the last true delta bluesmen.

We were honored to work with, and write for, Millage.

We send our thoughts and prayers to his family, and to his very good friend and longtime colleague Dawayne Gilley.

We were due to tour with Millage in 2020. He cancelled at the last minute after his son became ill and he told me 'we'll do it next time'.

Ah bugger.

Downtime Season 3 episode 5 Fish Drive

COVID slows production. Ok everything.

Healing vibes to Mr Wizard as well.Ye gods.

Meanwhile, we had our first person 'unfollow' us because I said something positive about masks and vaccines.

I'm boosted. The rest of us are boosted, and right now, with Sydney being the way it is, I'm wearing a mask. Our gigs are cancelled, venues are closed.

And now production on the backlog is slowed again as we enter 'Claytons Lockdown' as we are wisely realise that staying put, riding this out and waiting is the rational approach.

We can still get stuff done and we got setup to keep working remotely. It will slow us a little.

Stay safe out there.

The great pause, change and mixing.

2022 huh? We started in 2007. Yikes right? 15 years of mutation. And it continues.

Look forward to sharing the new stuff with ya when we get a chance. It's taken a while to clear the logjam.

Today we made further progress on the backlog of stuff from The Great Pause.

Everyone's getting booster shots, which is helpful cos we already had one member in the hospital for a day with this damned thing. Not to mention our good friend down south who lost her battle with it.

The mixing stuff has kept me plenty busy. These recordings are definitely shaped by the times, what we can and can't get done. That seems fitting. Each of the albums has been its own place and time.

It seems like it takes forever, and then it's done. Like life, I guess ;)

We're making headway with this lot at long last. DIY has some risks (oh boy) and some freedoms, so we're going nuts. What the heck. :)

Not surewhen we're gonna be out in public. Not sure when the next streaming session is. I can say I expect to have some new music out and if I am lucky, some video too. Stay well out there, visit when you feel. :)
