Shopping, gardening, surfing, singing and doubting...

Sunday and, after coffee and croisssants, we're off to (cliche time) a New Cathedral - Sainsbury's - for the weekly shop...we don't go to church...here are some lovely provisions for the week ahead...

Mmm - tasty stuff...

Anne did some gardening today while I mainly buggered about on the internet....

Then I sang a few songs from these Cloudland Blue Quartet CDs to no-one in particular (in fact to no-one at all)...

The top two, "Deeperdown" and "Anthology" are as yet unreleased, indeed "Deeperdown" isn't even finished....I was talking about finishing it when I started this journal back in March...

Today's session was the first time I'd picked up my guitar since the gig on 25 August - exactly one month ago - how can I call myself a musician if I don't play any music for a month??

Idiot!

Maybe if I didn't spend so much time writing this nonsense I'd do more music?

But in fairness, it's this maverick obsessive behaviour that makes Britain great! :-); 8:42 pm

Perhaps your routine will bring people to my blog and from there to my music...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
