To the Moon with Virgin Galactic


While this effect was achieved with a clever angle of photography, Sir Richard Branson probably aims for the Moon.  We know this because Sir Richard Branson never rules out anything.

Another thing we know for sure is that if you don't aim for the Moon then there's no chance you will ever get there.

The Galactic Peace Tour is not dead as there are some other things I know for sure.  Without me, my guitar will die.  Without the guitar, I will.  It is the only thing that has remained constant in my life and she has been within arm's reach for forty-one years.  Stirling Moss once said he had given Formula 1 auto racing 'all but my life' and so it is with anything worth doing.  ("All But My Life" is a fascinating autobiography and one I highly recommend)

"Hammerhead" is my latest and I've been working on it for a couple of days.  The last couplet goes, "When I've got my guitar, I'm never alone."

From the title, I imagine you can guess this is one is loud.  I really miss the bass and the keys and the drums as they permitted me to play much more complex arrangements but that's ok.  If they loved me, they would still be with me (laughs).

So, do take it to the Moon as anything less is just piddling around in a cornfield.
