I was improvising before I’d learned the word, but I wasn’t systematic about it until years later. I suppose for a time the word had a bit of a mystique about it, as it does for many. After all, the norm in Western musical practice has been to read music that someone else, the composer, had written. The composer is the authority; you are a mere conduit; and improvising, where you (shudder) make it up yourself, that’s VERY mysterious.

Rafer Roberts, Darick Robertson & Juan Jose Ryp Blow Minds in HARBINGER RENEGADE #2 – Coming in December!

People delay phone calls – that’s just how it goes. It’s part of the world of independent projects. I’ve been having some frustrations with this recently so I wanted to pick it apart a little bit. It’s one of the most frustrating things in the world to have happen to you – to be building up for something and even structure your day around it, only for the call to fall through. Suddenly you can be left up shit creek without a paddle and nothing to do with your ...

One of the privileges of being a blogger is being considered for the occasional press trip and Mrs Foodie was invited to join one such trip to Heverlee near Leuven in Belgium. Leuven is perhaps best known for one beer with a particular reputation but Heverlee is now making a name for itself with its eponymous beer.

It's hard enough to break through the clutter during a "regular" 4th quarter, but marketing during an election season is especially challenging. The intensity of this presidential election cycle adds to the difficulty.

Running late has happened to the best of us, even the most organized and efficient.  I remember one harrowing experience of my own where I had an early morning flight and I slept through my alarm clock.  I was woken up by a call from my driver telling me he was downstairs.  Panicked, I begged him not to leave.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have the luxury of just rolling out of bed and into the car.  I was on my way to a meeting in North Carolina that ...

Play-mate, teacher, mentor, confidante and advisor, are just a few of the things my father was to me. I was ‘daddy’s girl’ and followed him everywhere. He was never cross or too busy. He was a pub manager and we lived on the premises so he was always around, somewhere between our living quarters and the cellar.
Pub cellars were fascinating places. White-washed caves smelling strongly of beer and rows of wooden barrels cradled on ...

My goodness, the Tourist Board people are going to HATE this post… half term in London and here’s the The Daily Constitutional covering the most gruesome and shockingly memorable London-set horror novel of all time.

Before you’ve even opened the thing, the title has the heart racing: The Rats. It plugs directly in to one ...

Here's David, The Daily Constitutional Special Correspondent brooding over words once more…

“When we say goodbye on Halloween what we’re really saying is ‘God be with you’. Tease the word goodbye apart and it comes into view, like a print coming up in a darkroom: God be [with] ye. The ‘with’ is completely elided, but for the rest – well, it’s all there.

And as for Halloween – well, again, if you trust your ear you can hear the trumpets ...
