Downpour...

Rained almost continuously all day today – poured....

So, good to be back in Scotland...

Spent the majority of the day at the computer updating the blog for the first few days of the Italian trip whilst listening to four of the six CDs I was waiting on from Russia – two still missing in action...

Mid afternoon had a dreadful run through the proposed set for next weeks gigs – hopefully that’s that out of the system and I’ll improve!!

In the evening we went with Anne’s mum to Murrayfield to watch Hearts’ latest European game – this time against Sparta Prague. Once again they were outdone by a better side and came a way 2-0 down with a huge task in a fortnight in the Czech Republic...

Back home, watched the first episode of the new series of “Extras” on video before retiring...

Not the best of days but still ok in the big scheme of things...

Highlight of the Day : Accessing the computer again

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!
