Reunited...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Deeperdown
Creek – 1.0.0

The great Creek reunion of 2007 started in the back garden as we just sat around drinking beer and wine and “cordial”, with Anne and Meg the Black Cat, before going inside, where I presented the boys with their 10 year commemorative CD set containing all 100 tracks the group has recorded to date....



As Anne retired to surf the net, we did some more sitting around, this time in the living room, listening to parts of each of the four discs based on tracks that Alan, Stu and Craig particularly wanted to hear, while we formulated a plan to take the group forward and make some new recordings and, possibly, even play live...

We agreed that we’d work in groups of 1, 2, 3 or 4 members on new material and this could be done either in person or remotely using the internet...

My guitar playing was barred from the new set up, making the group entirely synthesised/electronic...

Having set the world of Creek to rights, we were rejoined by Anne to watch tonight’s “Still Game” before my trio of cohorts set out into the night with renewed vigour...

After they’d gone, Anne and I enjoyed tonight’s episode of “My Name is Earl”, which made it two nights in a row as we’d watched the repeat of last week’s last night after returning from the Paul Sinha show...

Highlight of the Day : A reunion...
