DAI Magister appoints two communications tech veterans

Oh.

Hi Michael, I hope you're well. 

Not really. I didn't write the Life and Death lyric yesterday. Listen! If it was easy getting a BIG TEN of songs ... everyone would be doing it. Do you know what I mean? But you don't want to hear about my problems.

Boutique investment bank DAI Magister appointed two senior advisors, Claude Sassoulas and Sudhir Ispahani, both highly successful, seasoned communications tech entrepreneurs and executives.

I've got to lose that last bit of fat, mate, which I'm not looking forward to. It means cutting calories. But I love chips, and lager, and cheese sandwiches, and ice cream. Never mind.

These appointments demonstrate DAI Magister's commitment to recruiting the most highly regarded specialists in its sectors of operation.

I'm really pleased with my guitar playing though.

Please do see the full release below for further information. Moreover, if you would like to speak with a spokesperson at DAI Magister, please do let me know as I'll be happy to arrange.

'And your singing, boss!'

Kind regards, Ben.

Yes, Voice ... and my singing. / Who was that?!

'Ben, I think.'

What did he want?

'PR email ... from two weeks ago.'

Christ! From two weeks ago?! Is he nuts?!

'I don't know. / We've got another email from Detlef and the gang.'

Well ... we might as well do this one now ...

'What's the problem, boss?'

It's too much for my brain this morning. / Is there much more of this?

'We've just got the voices now. We love the voices!'

Ha! Well, you do.

Okay ...

Me?

Exhausted, frankly.

...

Uh.

I played that little song yesterday. 2.20, you know? It has a lovely melody. I can't imagine what the words will be.

But I'll have seventeen songs soon. That's something.

I don't think the walking will help. I walked ten miles last Thursday and totally wrecked myself in the heat.

'You should walk five or six miles. Maybe two or three times a week.'

Yeah, yeah.

The "Ringo" walk is only five miles.

None of it can compare to Cornwall though. 

I must be crazy. I've completed nine of the BIG TEN. I could even throw Good Times back in ... and forget about Life and Death.

But I am crazy.

I want to feel different. I need Life and Death to feel different, you dig?

The power of my BIG TEN is that the top song Mighty Soul doesn't make the bottom song What's This Life We Live? seem insignificant. The latter is a great rock ballad. No one needs to suffer any weakness.

Laters.
