New Years Resolution

Yes yes yes, it is a tad late to be making one of these but what ever happened to the good old "Better late than never" attitude?

Since I last blogged a lot has changed, and even more has happened! All of these things put together have encouraged me to get my life back into swing with music, God and generally being a useful member of society - rather than what I felt I was becoming not too long ago.. which was quite the opposite.

In any case I feel like I'm back on board, and it feels good!

I've been doing a bit of band staling recently. For those of you who don't know, Tim Cedermin (Airplay's former pianist) has gone and gotten himself super talented and is currently gigging with a band called SuperShip. They are brilliant, and will be playing Fat Eddies on the 22nd of July starting at 11pm - 2am.

William Alexandar, Airplay's former drummer has gotten himself accepted into one of the best acting schools in the UK - this still blows my mind (although it was hardly a surprise, if that makes any sense!) so he is off to London shortly.

Steven Utting (or Viking) Airplay's bassist is up in Wellington studying - unfortunately I've fallen off his radar so I'm not totally sure what he's doing.

Andrew Knopp has become Mr. Andrew Knopp after marring his Jazz School sweet heart Victoria - who has her honors on bass and is amazing! Andrew has also graduated with his diploma in Jazz and a BM. He now spends his days working for my Dad as a printer (printing the work I bring in as a rep.. also for my Dad).

Any way, I am going to carry on AirPlay myself having recently met a few pretty keen musicians. I finally got my gear sorted (although... you can never have too much!) for now I'm thinking of just keeping things simple - three piece, drums bass guitar voice if possibly. I will miss having a piano and another guitarist (as I'm hardly the best!) but we'll see how it goes.. perhaps we will expand in the future.

My recording gear is broken - for which I blame andrew taylor of musicthingz.co.nz NEVER BUY FROM THIS CON MAN!!!

For now, I am just updating to say that I'm back and will be here for a long time to come.

Witha ny luck I will be uploading a linking some practice video shortly!


Enjoy,
Jonny.
