Wake Me Up

Filmed ‘Wake Me Up’ for a BBC Wales art show today and a short interview. Aled Jones is the presenter and it will go out later this week. Will stay up until late into the morning to see if Calgary can clinch the Stanley Cup. I was with them till 5 am on Saturday night and they lost, hence the clincher tonight.Guess that means I’m going to sleep on the plane tomorrow to Belfast, my run of dates opening for Suzanne Vega starts there tomorrow night. Will be happy to do the gigs but at the same time feel that I should be static right now. I wrote this to a friend tonight: How does one stop? Crazy schedules in the hope that something might happen, or out of the fear that you might not do that one gig that..what?..exactly. Meanwhile..your kids grow and you don’t see it happening, and one is so busy trying to get one`s head around the madness of the pressure of trying to be everything to many, before even beginning to take on life`s deeper mysteries, and loving the few folk that life would crumble without. Bed at 4.30 am. Flames lost..damn
