    Music is one of the few things that keeps me sane(ish) in this fucked up world.

    As well as working on my own album of songs, which is almost ready for release, I'm fortunate to be able to regularly sit in with some lovely local musicians at a weekly blues session.

    Although piano is my main instrument, I also play acoustic fretless bass for fun.
    If money were no object, I'd buy an upright bass instead.

    Nothing beats the experience of playing live music in front of an appreciative audience.
    Even if it is in a less than salubrious, but also very safe bar.

    We do a range of songs ranging from Mississippi delta blues, Jump Blues, Chicago style blues to some jazz standards such as 'Georgia' and 'Summertime'.

    A colour photo taken the stage at a live blues session, at a local bar in the town where I live.

It shows two white men, both sat in front of mics, singing and playing acoustic guitars.
The one on the right is playing a single cutaway style acoustic guitar in a natural finish.

He has grey hair and a beard. He is wearing a brown waistcoat over a light blue shirt, blue jeans and brown shoes.
The musician to the left is playing a sunburst acoustic guitar and he is wearing a loose fitting light gray shirt, dark blue jeans and black / white trainers.

Behind them sits a white woman playing an acoustic fretless bass in a natural finish. 
She wears a light gray strappy top and black trousers.
Her shortish gray hair is tied back with a black, red & white bandana.
