It’s a brave new world in which the digital interacts with the physical.

One of my foster sons is meeting up with a girl he’s been “going out” with online for more than 2 years. They’ve been speaking together almost every night during that time. She lives over 2,000 miles away and now they are meeting for the first time in the flesh in Glasgow, as I write. Now that’s romance.

I’m enjoying getting to know lots of other musicians through online means. Though not for romantic purpose I hasten to add. And it’s great to meet up. Two days ago H4Lifer Davey McCallum was visiting Kintyre and played his online set from the house of another H4Lifer, and his friend, Les Oman.

Les happens to live about 200 metres from me here in Campbeltown. So after watching the performance from my house I popped over to Les’s house to meet Davey in the flesh.

It’s all a little bit surreal. But very nice too.
