Up at 7:30...

Reading through the message board at the Queen of the South site I could see that yesterday’s events had been enough to make grown men cry and I must admit some of the comments brought a wee tear to the eye...

Later in the day it seemed we’d play Aberdeen in the semi – beating them is not a task which I believe to be impossible – but it wasn’t to be as Celtic equalised with the last kick of the game and forced a replay in Glasgow – so it’s likely we’ll play the ‘tic...

I made the decision today to offer all my tracks as free downloads – what prompted this was finding that the listening facility I have over to the right on here (see “Listen to my 2007 album” etc etc) and on the Music Page over at www.crispycat.co.uk had broken down (it’s back up now as I right this on Monday night)...

So the first two tracks are up now for you to download and burn or delete or whatever you want to do – of course if you still want a shiny silver disc with artwork and a box, you can buy those – much better I say (but then I would)...

I also updated my Albums of the Month blog for January, February and March having been a bit lax – and I note that my photo blog’s not been updated since last summer – how remiss of me...

I spent some considerable time today transferring a Richie Havens LP from 1969 (“1983” – not available on CD) onto CD for Meg the Black Cat’s ex-mum Julia – a good album it is too – I bought it for her on e-bay and it arrived yesterday...

As ever, all my buggering about on the computer while I played it in from the mini disc I’d taped it on from the LP, caused no end of crackles so I had to do it all again whilst everything else was closed down...

The end result is very good though and I hope Julia will be pleased...



To Anne’s mum’s for family tea then off out to the Playhouse for Dara O’Briain – hey, he was born on Alice Cooper’s birthday in 1972 – and is a very, very funny man but “you had to be there”....

Back home after the two hour show, Anne watched “Dancing on Ice” and I finished off Julia’s CD...
