There are many articles in this blog about lefty Unplugged's performances at Cat's Art MusikCircus and I had said along the way that I would love to meet him but we didn't put anything together until I got fairly close. We discovered his home is very close to the route I had adopted for getting to Edinburgh and he invited me to stay. It turned out to be quite painless getting here with only getting a bit lost once and I arrived fairly early in the day giving lots of time to hang out.
And here he is!
This is a beautiful guitar which he got fairly recently and he keeps it within easy reach for whenever some music comes into his head ... which is most of the time. He lives his life for music these days and has devoted quite a bit of his life to it in any case but he makes his living solely from music now, such is his passion and there is no chance it will ever diminish.
Music is not the only passion in his life so here are Mr and Mrs lefty Unplugged. I had been told she was so shy but she has been absolutely charming and graciously consented to a picture.
Yes, of course her hair is purple and quite a lovely choice. It was not only charming to meet and talk with her but she made a Curry Chicken meal for dinner that was outstanding. It wasn't the Curry Chicken over rice but rather she put out a full spread with Naan and some different vegetable pieces that were excellent.
They are lovely together and it's a charming thing to see as they complement each other very well and it's an extraordinary pleasure hanging about with them. While the love is obvious, hanging about with each other every moment doesn't work for anyone so Mrs lefty does what she likes whilst lefty makes his music and this works very well for them.
Here is where the music happens.
I was very impressed by the sophistication of the equipment. It's not because of any lack of sophistication in his music as the regulars have heard my thoughts on that previously but rather I didn't think he needed much gear to do it. However, you see part of his kit here and it's beautifully installed.
We will come back to play here this evening but first back to the Garden.
I can usually avoid having my picture taken but not this time and hanging out in their garden is a very special time.
Even Pidge came to visit!
Where the sparrows take little nibbles, Pidge is going to eat the whole slice and it was amusing at one point as he's not so graceful in his eating. The bread flies about as he chops it up and a large bit flew up in the air. It landed back down on him and frightened him enough that he almost left. But no chance he was going to leave a meal with a morsel unconsumed.
And here he is!
