Listening to a BBC Sounds podcast, "The Rise and Fall of #Madchester", has got me back into the music of the #StoneRoses.

That in turn has got me back into playing #BassGuitar. Which has made me realise that my little fingers are far too puny to hold down fat bass strings.

So I'm trying to use my grip strength trainer with just my ring (for balance) and little fingers.

Anyway, I can recommend https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0ftp7pt?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile as a listen.

No EU quiz today, just a picture of a #BassGuitar and my new hair colour, which is more #purple than it was before.

The song I'm working on in this photo is called Honey Boy, my friend and band member Jose wrote it and it's kind of his coming out story (I think).
It's very joyful and I hope one day we'll make a decent recording of it.
