I took the night off playing music to do a little work on the the site. In addition to the obvious new banner up at the top, I've done a few minor tweaks on the navigation and upgraded to the latest version of b2Evolution, in preparation for another tweak I'm going to make soon.

The guitar picture at the top of the site is one of my custom guitars made by former Luthier Neil Bryan. I think the new picture brightens things up a little. I took some photos of it this evening with the same rigged lightbox I used to photograph the AE cover.

I actually liked the photo below better than the one I used in the banner.

On the music side I've got a brand new composition well underway.

Counting Stars (the long tune) runs a full half hour now, and I've put a fork in the arrangement on that one - still a tiny bit of rerecording work to do on that demo.

Update: The final bit of functionality is in place. It is now much easier to leave a comment. In order to keep spam bots off the site selling their various... er... enhancements I had previously required registration before a visitor could leave a comment. No more. Now you can just click "Discussion" and say your piece. You will have to fill in the answer to a quick captcha test so the blog knows you are a real person.
