Whistle while you work
So there I am, slaving away, minding my own business, and I’ve got Miki sneaking up behind me, taking photos. The irony here is, the poster on the wall, which has been there for ages, directly relates to the re-emergence of Christie as a touring band. Which is why I guess she imagined I was already running through the songs in my head while hammering away……
So, the walls are now virtually complete, and today I put part of the ceiling up. Perhaps I can see the light at the end of the tunnel….oh, no…it’s just a migraine.
You always have such cool colored indirect lighting in these shots of the new studio – very 60s psychedelic. Is this by design?
I admire your pluck at building this yourself as it sounds as if this is not second nature to you. I am a firm believer, myself, in hiring professionals whenever possible – I’m afraid I don’t have the right temperment to build things. I’m sure it’s a labor of love…

Miki is the lighting director in these shots – but I am fitting a series of coloured lights in the entrance hall there. You are spot on Bob, it’s not second nature to me at all. I would describe it as a labour of love/hate. I get so frustrated! But, in the end, when I sit down at the controls – the satisfaction will be all the sweeter.

Hello Pomme! Bonsoir! Merci, you are very kind. Miki takes pictures of me all the time. It’s like living with the French papparazzi! 🙂

Great shot and yes it is coming to completion very nicely.
Glad for you Keven.
May all those years of writing and singing and playing songs produce a groundswell of new music that will become another legacy for future generations and for us all who eagerly await your solo album and your upcoming “new” concerts this and next year.

Susan, I fear that in the desire to get some relaxing downtime as respite from my labours, I am becoming an alcoholic….
