The New Year progress report #2

Whoopee, I have pneumonia!

We managed to print a mix for another song, “Body And Soul” and had started on “The Idea Of You” before I couldn’t take the aching and the loopiness anymore. It wouldn’t be a Kadane Brothers-related happening if someone didn’t fall violently ill, right?

The doc put me on antibiotics and ordered me to stay home and do jack-all, which I’m pretty good at anyway. Of course, Katey and I had just decided to cancel the cable, so I’ve been reading these things called “books” (The Unfolding of Language right now) and periodicals (my subscription to the Texas Observer just started up, lucky me). Yeah, and watching the bonus features disc of Knocked Up.

I figure while I’m laid up, I also might as well see if Richard Lloyd can teach me how to play guitar right.
