First up, forgot to mention the great scene in last night's "Law & Order : Criminal Intent" where the "Johnny Seven Gun" was demonstrated in all its glory...

This is a toy I had in the mid sixties that you can read about here...

Here're some images I found on the net...

If you're a person of a certain age, maybe you had one too...

My four recently purchased on e-bay Blue Note jazz CDs arrived - managed to listen to two of them in their entirety and excerpts from the other two. Despite my fears for the Mobley disc (based on online reviews), it's excellent...

Lee Morgan provided the soundtrack for the washing up, while Mr Mobley accompanied my e-bay surf tonight (I'm watching some more stuff)...

Other listening today comprised, of course, the latest mock-up of the forthcoming CBQ album - I am making mental notes of work to be carried out - mental notes which will soon have to be written down and then acted upon.....

Then the first two of three The Cure albums which apparently form a loose trilogy, a DVD of which is available at your local music store....

On telly - a taped "Ugly Betty", "Life on Mars" live and tonight's "CSI" also taped...

Highlight of the Day : Remembering the Johnny Seven Gun (OMA)...

Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: Just one more thing we have in common Mr Smith. Good to hear from you. Funny thing about my Johnny Seven Gun - I can't really remember what happened to it...

Did you use yours in mock battles pre the Tony Palmer film?; 7:59 pm

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!
