Number 4 Completed and I have the photo to prove it :)

So, I finally bought myself an E-Bow Plus having lusted after this battery powered slice of magic for many years since I first heard it used on E-Bow The Letter by REM (and later realised it had been used on many older and more proggy albums!).

I then experimented with it on all of my guitars and also my lap-steel.  However, April the 3rd gave me the first opportunity to use it in a live context, guesting with Heidi Widdop at The Robin 2 on a fantastic new original song of hers.  It delivered in terms of tone and smooth attack and I was transported by it, it was lovely and I will definitely be using it more often in the future.

Here's a shot taken by my good friend and dedicated music fan Ian Hall:

I also got chance to use my lovely new Epiphone Amplifier which looked and sounded the business - another Ian Hall capture :)

I've also done number 22 - "Get more support slots for bands on national/international tours" and "Go on more random Photo Walks.  I now have dates booked supporting John Hackett Band, Morpheus Rising and Multi Story and will continue to look for opportunities here in the UK and further afield.

I've also started number 34 but that's more of an ongoing until and beyond the 40th birthday thing. Photo walks are fun, especially when challenged to take photos of particular things by people, so if you have any particular "wants" for me to take shots of, that I at least have some chance of capturing somewhere in easy walking/driving distance, that'd be great.

Still a number of challenges still to complete, training for the 10k run is underway, and the run will take place on Sunday 1st of May, so that'll be done soon.  I'll sign off for now, but I should be back with an update again soon.
