Lockdown London

Clocks went forward and Spring has sprung

Things to do on lockdown..


Wrap up well when you need to stock up, on utilities, and basic essentials

Yesterday me and Ti drove in pursuit of essentials, and even though it was early in the morning... it was eerie - almost post apocalyptic

I actually ran across the road to avoid one woman, and resisted the urge to 'have a word' a man I saw spit in the road

Nope, now is not the time to chastise ransom strangers ( even from the safety of my car)

Regardless, we picked up only what was needed, dropped rice at my mums front door, said hi and bye, and headed home
Clothes off and into the wash with disinfectant, then into the bath... again



My Sunday has been spent sowing seeds - gotta be self sufficient ... try my best to be anyway, whilst enjoying the EFF bookclub with Floyd Shivambu.

Got some Okra seeds in there too



Bookclub with Floyd



Dinner over with , and it's time to chill, and indulge in gardening videos, music, and whatever else takes my fancy.



Friday was a rough day.
My record producer Mykey of MCS records, I found out, died, as did reggae music legends Bob Andy and Delroy Washington.

End of an era - all having had a positive impact on my life.
Spent many hours working in the studio with Mykey, whilst my kids (then still v young) played in his garden, and waited for me to be done.

Mykey was a good man, humble, funny, kind, and respectful. He encouraged me to develop my own music production skills, to play my bass , keyboards, and whatever else on my own tracks.
Good times - good memories.
RIP to the boss - Mykey Simpson.





Bob Andy


Growing up, one album I played many many time from start to end was Bob Andy's Songbook
A classic in so many ways.
