Well, no Mic yet, but ive been in contact with the guy im getting it from, its 'in the post'!
My BAD news for the week is im working Nights til friday, first time ive done it, so fingers crossed, its not much pressure, but someone needs to do it!! Its a pity I dont work in an environment where I can Practice my Harmonica playing, but I dont really think it will go down too well with the night shift. Im also not surewhat do do about my sleep patterns, but im sure I'll be tired enough to sleep tomorrow any way!!
If Im NOT too dead, I might try and get a couple of hours archery in tommorrow before i try and sleep, just have to suck it and see!

New Toy!!!!
Posted Feb 26, 2003
Well im going to start using this as a diary, so here goes:
Set the Cheque off for a new microphone today! As a Blues Harmonica player, i didnt realise HOW important the right Mike is until I borrowed a friends mike at a Jam!
If you've seen 'The Blues Brothers', you have seen the type of thing i am talking about, the old fashioned, Bullet shaped things. The reason the they sound 'different' is because they use a crystal element to pick up the spund, rather than the more common magetic type, thus picking up different frequencies.
Put through a valve amplifier, rather than a transistor one, also helps the 'classic' blues tone.Thats next on my list!!
Ill add more when my new toy arrives!!!
