Living on the edge
Taking a break from the mass hysteria that is swine flu to write yet another blog post – my third for the month. Already on track to be my best blogging month for 2009!
Things are super busy at the moment – work is busy, home is getting busy, out 4/7 nights this week with church related stuff, trying to fit in study for my new course in Diving medicine as well as get started on an assignment for my other unit, and of course fit in all the other things I want to get done – family time, get through some of my mountain of unread books, play my guitar etc etc. Oh and Owen seems to have come down with flu today quite badly 
So my plan now is to try and do a little bit of every thing every day so I don’t get to the end of the week and look back at all the things left undone. Part of that involves maximising my time at work so that when I have down time between patients (who inevenitably don’t show up or are late) I can do some blogging or study or whatever.
During one of those quite patches today I rediscovered this awesome page that I want to now link to for future reference : A Study of The Edge’s Guitar Delay. This brilliant site examines in detail how The Edge achieves his sound. Worth looking at if you are a guitarist and a U2 fan (and in my mind there should be no guitarists who are not) – check it out.
And now, for your entertainment, here’s a song I used to like when I was a kid. I often chide my friend Gav for being a big Petra fan (he even bought 2 of their guitars even though he’s a keyboard player!), but I do have a history of listening to some dodgy Christian ‘metal’ myself… Unlike Gavin though, I moved on from that phase about 15 years ago… but this is one of the songs I used to like : X-sinner – Living on the edge
