Update:

Finally made it to Hans Salomon's gig and arrived for the last 2 bars of the final chorus. Then, when everything had calmed down, found my way to go up and say 'Hello' and his immediate reply was "You've just arrived?" Man, did I have egg all over my face (English expression for being terminally embarassed).

Anyway, to cut a long story short...

This Jazz sax giant has kindly agreed to play sax on my new track! He wants the lyrics too though because he says that the melody and chords mean very little - he wants to play around the sentiment.

I now have precisely 1 week to come up with the lyrics. Normally OK but I'm used to working from the lyrics to the melody and this time I have to work the other way around. Man! That melody is so hooked into my brain now but I still don't know what I want to say with it or how...

Still arguing with myself about the title. 'Its A Start' was just a 'working title'. Now I am undecided between 'Another Start' and 'A New Start'. I want it to appeal to everybody and to put it in a way that everybody can relate to - it should be pertinent to those who are in a new life situation. The melody is very melancholic.

Sometimes you are very lucky to get given gifts and then you have to work out how to use them...
