Fossil Rock found in a French Barn

Last night an amazing find was made in an ancient barn, deep in the French countryside on the western slopes of the Auvergne.
'Fossil Rock' performed their first evening gig on the occasion of Louise's birthday.
The picture shows the scene at the actual moment of discovery. Later, visitors and guests where able to sample the effects of this remarkable exposure to the light, at which point loud noises were heard, approximating to those remembered by the older members of the public present, from the days when popular music only needed three chords to get itself into the charts.
Rumours have since been rife that other discoveries of this nature may be made in locations nearby in the near future.

Art is solitary, music is not

At the risk of being accused of stating the bleedin' obvious, I have just arrived at this conclusion. To practise the art of painting or drawing you must do it alone. To make music, you do it with others.
It's late in the evening and I've just seen a great 'prom' concert on the BBC. The precision pumping of the bows of the violins and cellos was mesmerising - all those musicians moving as one. I've been painting all week and spent the afternoon and evening playing fossilised rock with friends at a wonderful birthday party. I've enjoyed it all, the one, alone and the other with my fellow musicians.
Hence the revelation.
Time for bed.

Using Posterous with my existing blog

This post should now show up in my existing 'Xaintrie' blog as well as Twitter and Posterous, so it's a sort of test.
I confess, Posterous is looking good and easy - using only an email to do this is a stroke of genius.
