Rant: high sounding language unsupported by dignity of thought - Samuel Johnson

How cool am I?

I've never been cool. My inner rock chick generally stays hidden from public view, lurking quietly beneath my ordinary, slightly mumsy exterior.

But yesterday I spent the day in a recording studio, recording backing music for an album by indie rock band The Strange Death of Liberal England. Now that's something I never thought I'd be asked to do. Let's face it, the clarinet isn't exactly rock n roll. And the band are less than half my age.

Better than anything, though, is the knowledge that I will now appear on an album by a band that has supported the Manic Street Preachers.

How cool is that?
