The Band is Back Together

Six months ago this blog had run its race, reached its destination and drifted towards the blogger salvage yard. But as we all know six months can feel a lifetime especially as we navigate turbulent and unprecedented waters. So in the spirit of the classic music reunion: the band is back together - well a band of one and a raft of musical content to share. 

So Three Chords and the Truth UK is taken off the life support machine and stumbles back into some remnants of existence. In the same light as the uncertainty of the new normal, there is absolutely no idea how this is going to pan out other than copying 75 posts from a separate venture highlighting what has been listened to in the last six months. 

The other blog venture of 2020 was the ill fated project to document the whole year's live music, sport and theatre. If only somebody had whispered in the ear at the turn of the year, don't bother with that as a pandemic is going to absolutely stuff you. 

As an album review has not been written for eight months, will the horse be mounted to carry on the tradition of this blog or will it settle as an outlet for sharing the listening experience. Time will tell with one absolute guarantee that lockdown has rejuvenated the leisure pursuit of savouring both old and new music. Maybe the keyboard will reverberate again to the sound of the album review and also in the dim distant future to that of the gig reflection. 

However, no rush. Plenty of sharing first and getting used to that part of the new normal where the band has got back together.
