  • I have one of those rare moments that I am really glad that we are NOT playing any OMNIA gigs this weekend... You see, it would be impossible for me to play right now because I had a little accident yesterday involving an argument between a very heavy door and my finger... accompanied by a sort of wet-crunchy squelchy sound... followed by some quite strong language from me (I think the term would rhyme with "Clucking Bell!!")
    So now I have a very bruised and traumatised finger... (it's not broken, but it's swollen and hurts like F*CK!) so I can't play the flutes or my bouzouki right now...
    and I'm typing this with one hand...
    It seems such a little thing, but it reminds me of just How delicate we FREE Musicians are... how thin the line between "performing Artist" and "broken toy" , just a little stupid accident can prevent us from "working" and if we can't play anymore, we starve...
    because OMNIA has CHOSEN to be one of the last independant self-managed self-produced professional bands in the world who live solely from our own ART without sucking up to the big multinational mega-corporate label-mafia, it means we have NO steady wage packet, NO pension plan, NO job-insurance , NO extra lives ,NO bonus levels and NO back-ups ...
    We really are free as the wind, so we can do whatever we want, whenever we want! and we live by what the day brings us (like our friends the wyld birds and animals and our forefathers the hunters and the gatherers)
    ...we simply "do our thing" while trading Art , Musick and philosophy for food and shelter...
    Our Artistick skills feed YOUR mind and the concert tickets, Cd's and Merchandise that YOU buy from us feed our bellies...
    but only for as long as we can still play... ummm...
    My finger will heal, it's no big deal... it throbs a bit and has funny colours but it is hardly classifiable as a "wound" (I used to be a Sword fighter and Fire-Artist... now THERE are a couple of jobs that can make some icky wounds!!) this is nothing...
    It will heal (this time)
    But it does remind me of the fact that everything in life has a limit... and OMNIA's limits are dictated solely by the strength in our own bodies and our own minds.
    Jenny and I will do our utmost best to avoid having more bodyparts crushed in pointless accidents so that we can enjoy living this life TOGETHER WITH YOU for as long as possible...
    "I'll stand strong while YOU stand beside me , take my hand and we'll dance untill we die!! (just make sure it's not the painfull one! ;-)
    Untill we meet again my dearies... I leave you with yet more of Sic's silly philosophy on this beautifull wet rainy delicious sunday without a concert to play ...
    XXX, Greenthingz and Ouch!

    ps: Thanks for all your likes and positive comments on the web!
    I don't really like or agree with FaceBook and all this Google-fucked moneymaking internet rubbish...
    (That's why I don't have a personal FB page/Twitter account etc.)
    BUT I must say that meeting people like YOU on our humble little OMNIA pages here makes it all worthwhile! ... thanx for making this human world less lonely! :-)
