Okay, so not everything went my way when I interviewed Chris Daymond from Perth rockers Jebediah last Thursday evening. I was prepared as usual. I had done my research on the band, had my questions organised and had my recording stuff in place. Chris called my home phone a little after 5 pm. We talked for a few minutes and then the line went silent. I panicked. He called back a few minutes later and then my phone cut off again. This was not a good start. My heart was racing.

Eventually, Chris called back again. I was flustered and apologised for what had happened. Luckily, he was super cool, brushed off the faulty landline connection and continued with the interview. We spoke for around ten minutes before my phone eventually died (I’ve since replaced the phone. There was a fault with the charger or something and it hadn’t charged during the day). Anyways, I made the most of my time on the phone with Chris and ended up with a brief little interview.

What did I learn from the experience? It doesn’t matter how organised you are sometimes, Murphy’s Law will occasionally rear its ugly head, and when it does, you’ve just got to persevere.
