Recording a new Lahu song
The last two days we were recording a new Lahu song. For now Thomas puts the basic tracks down. Rhythm, Bass and I play the guitar. Next week Mida will come for the vocals. It has been a while since I recorded my guitar playing and I must say it is rather challenging. I enjoy…

The dilemma of the news
Maybe I read to much, maybe I just get to much information. I just feel overwhelmed by what is happening out here in the world.

A lazy morning
I’m having a lazy morning. Luckily Lillian brought me coffee to bed and so I didn’t even have to get up. It is raining outside and the option of getting up was just not very appealing. It is cold today, at least for my own standards. I know in Switzerland they would laugh. But it…
