Tall Man comes round to my house on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. If hes on his postbike he chains it outiside, if hes on his racer - in the hall. We drink Earl Grey. I crinkle his brow with todays possibilities.

Hes very patient. I often invent a riff I can't replay and after a bit of rewinding hes worked out how I did it learnt it and taught it back to me. I find some things so discombobulating he has to teach them to me a new every time we practice, and sometimes on stage.

I often sit in the bath at night for many hours inventing drum patterns ( with red green and black felt tips on the white tiles, one bar one tile) that on the next day he can't play because nobody could or would even want to. It can take a whole afternoon to discover this. Throughout he looks at me as if I am a dirty but diverting pet.

Yet when hes caught on, and then I've caught up, were good - this good.........
