Various - Jazz from the Jukebox on Shuffleplay

Jazz on the listening agenda today - along with a nice lunch at the Balmoral Hotel...

In the evening I set up for the impending visit of James Jamieson and nephew Andy for our planned rehearsal....

I ran through the four songs I did backing tracks for the other night then went downstairs to wait on the boys' arrival...

Meg the Black Cat came running into the house from the back door and, after pacing around for a few seconds, deposited a deshevled but still live mouse under the coffee table...



I managed to hold her off while Anne got a pint beer glass from the kitchen and I put the wee creature into it, took it outside and along to the nearby woodland, letting it go...

Meg spent some considerable time searching for the beast but, of course, it was nowhere to be found...

A call from Andy advised he wasn't able to make it. Shortly afterwards JJ arrived and we ran through the set, agreeing that I should create backing tracks for the remaining five songs...

So, next Thursday, CBQ will indeed be a quartet:-
David Reilly - Vocals, Guitar
James Jamieson - Guitar, Vocals
Andy Wilson - Keyboards
C.D.P. Layer - Bass, Drums

On concluding the set runthrough, Jamie and I murdered a couple of old Capital Models songs, "Second Generation" and "The Sweet Thrill of Industry" before calling it a night and retiring downstairs for coffee and jaffa cakes with Anne - it was 10 pm...

Jamie finally left at 2:20 am, after we had set Education, Health and Policing policies to rights...
