Candy Apple Red: Objet-d'art, this is my new guitar. I got it for my birthday and is there anything more representative of serviceable art than a guitar? I am so excited, its my first ever bass. I have played them before, of course, but never actually owned one until now and I like it a great deal. And its also telling me I have no excuses for now delaying recording - except time, of course. But today is also a privilege because Dan has also just given me a copy of his first novel to read for him, and it has a red cover. So this is a red day and that's just fine by me, because that is all it needs to be. Not a blue day, not a day for the blues, not a day to choose to be blue, but a red day for 'killing the blues'…
