Slasher Cat and Furry Dog...

An e-mail from Norman Lamont explains last night’s absence of Indigo Rose. Sent at 6:18 pm it advised she has the flu. So get well soon Ms Rose and we’ll use a recording made standing around a microphone somewhere in Edinburgh instead of an “authentic” Waverley session....

Tonight a visit to Meg the Black Cat’s ex-mum, Julia’s house where Pandy the Fluffy Slasher Cat..

...and Dylan the Big Furry Dog live with Julia...

Meg the Black Cat is making a short return to her old home while Anne and I spend a week in Provence, France...

Julia has made us dinner and a fine spread it is too:-

Crispy Mini Popadoms with a Mango and Chili Salsa
Home Made French Onion Soup with French Bread Croutons and Gruyere Cheese
Mousaka with Potato Croquettes and Tomato & Carrot Salad
Chocolate Toffee Shortbread

There is also much white and red wine for the ladies while I, charged with driving home, stick to the Coca Cola with Ice and Lemon....

Anne drove to Julia’s to try and save me aggravating the now slightly diminishing pain in my arm...

Julia takes delight in demonstrating all her new mod cons, including a lovely flat screen digital TV, an entire HiFi rescued from her dad’s bin (one speaker working only) and her lovely Pure digital radio/CD player in her kitchen which puts our pathetic Dual thingy from Asda to shame...

Home and in bed by 11:30. And tonight I slept all night. Great. Missing Meg of course...

Highlight of the Day : Julia’s Cooking

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!
