Mozart and a meal at No 3...

Bought a couple more CDs from e-bay today...

A Thin Lizzy compilation which contains the two tracks from one of the first singles I bought "Whiskey in the Jar" and "Black Boys on the Corner"...

...and a CD of mainly medieval music by Virelai called "Sad Steps" which includes a version of King Crimson's "Trio" as transcribed by Andrew Keeling...

Not content with having done that, I also returned to HMV and splashed the cash for the 6CD box of Mozart I mentioned yesterday..

An evening off tonight as Anne and I head to No 3 Restaurant up town - one of the best in Edinburgh (http://www.no3royalterrace.com/No3_Main.htm)...

In the car we listened to a selection of Mozart overtures and arias from his many operas - it was like being in an episode of "Morse"..

The food was brilliant - Anne proclaimed her fillet steak to be the best she'd ever had...

No pudding as we were just too full following starters and steaks...

A good old chat with chum and owner Nigel Hogg before returning home for "Desperate Housewives"...

I turned in early...

Tonight in the mirror before going out I looked old and ill...

Highlight of the Day : A meal at No 3

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!
