I have joined with the talented singer/songwriter Razia Aziz to create a version of Gershwin's classic Summertime, with adapted lyrics, as a tribute to all the doctors, nurses, careworkers and keyworkers who have kept us going in this terrible, heartbreaking crisis. We are supporting 2 charites - if you like this, please consider a small donation:
I had a lot of fun with Razia, finding our way into an arrangement that felt fresh, within our talents (!) and in the right tone for this heavy time. I loved playing my mandolin especially, which I recently had repaired and improved by a master craftsman in Brighton. I am particularly proud of my 2-note solo in the instrumental part, which was a mixture of my characteristic minimalism and expediency to get this done in fairly quick time!
