Spilled...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Rehearsal Recordings
Luna – Best of
Roxy Music – The Thrill of It All

Worked on the fifth of nine backing tracks for CBQ live before heading over to Count Brodski’s this evening for an impromptu meet-up...

Whenever we call each other on the phone, we always seem to end with “I’ll call you at the weekend to make arrangements...” and nothing ever happens...

So, last time we spoke, we made a conscious effort to put something in the diary – we tried for last night but I was rehearsing – we tried tomorrow night but it’s nephew Andy’s 21st party...

So, despite the fact that Alan’s partner, Penny, was on a night out with her work colleagues, tonight it was...

It was great to see him again – last time was when we were both recovering from operations and the time before that was at one of my Fringe gigs last August – so just twice in 6 months – in the “old days” we used to see each other “all the time”...

We had a few drinks, listened to some choice music from his eclectic collection (Luna’s double “Best of” being my particular fave of the evening) and enjoyed an excellent takeaway from his local Indian, House of India...

Very tasty- as they say – even though the Executive Producer did manage to spill half of her curry onto the kitchen floor...

There’s a possibility of Alan and Penny coming along to Documenta 12 in the summer, or of my returning to Kassel with Alan towards the end of the 100 day run. Here’s a (treated) pic of us at Documenta 11 in 2002...



Like Laurel & Hary reading some books in an Art Gallery...

Home by 1:30 and, prompted by the Bryan Ferry concert we talked over, to bed with some Roxy on the phones....

Highlight of the Day : A visit to Castle Brodski
