Lazy day, my arse!

Although I was really supposed to be working on charts today, I sat down with Cubase to ... do I call it play or learn? Finally got around to installing the new Trilogy wrappers and, after a year and a half of owning the damned thing, got it to work. And it is, in a word, awesome. Sat down with BFD, Virtual Guitarist and Trilogy, and managed to produce a fairly basic but ok sounding indie rock progression. Nice crunchy acoustic guitar. The trouble with this of course, is that it makes me want to buy more software. I’m looking at the BFD Jazz package of course, though the Rock and Latin stuff is also looking promising.

Unfortunately, despite the picture, the seas were too rough to allow many people off, so the tropical paradise that was supposed to be Rarotonga will forever remain unknown to me. Still, Moorea and Bora Bora are coming up. Surely we can get off at one of those. To be honest, it’s remarkable that we managed to get in at all.

The big highlight, though, was Dave Osborn, the trumpeter, hearing I was running out of coffee came back with a big bag of something called Atiu Coffee from the Cook Islands. Must admit I didn’t know they brewed coffee in the Cook Islands, but I’m very relieved they do. Need my morning coffee.
