Various – Canadian Blast
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Acoustic Setlist
Up at 7:30 and worked on a new CBQ compilation (as if I don’t have enough already) – but I was looking for tracks which, if I start playing acoustically again, I could perform live...
I managed 21 across the song-based albums since “becoming” CBQ in 1996, “Callingstill”, “Doveloveshawk”, “Ampersand”, Anotherhappyday”, “Deeperdown” and “Ersatzreal”...
Then I spent a good part of the rest of the day recording the basics of new acoustic versions of the songs...
Mid-afternoon we headed to Loanhead to see how my mum’s doing (fine) and met up there with big-sister Sheila with her tales of her family and the shocking nonsense she has to put up with from kids and the PFI company re the school where she teaches...
Up to nearby Ikea for some bits and bobs then we sought somewhere for tea – driving first to Colinton and eventually ending up out in the village of Balerno where we found the oddly named “Adams Tandoori”...
....where we enjoyed an “all you can eat” buffet which included poppadoms and pakoras along with a choice of five different curries....
We weren’t even charged for our soft drinks – though it turned out that “all we could eat” wasn’t actually all that much...
Still, at £9.95 a head it was definitely value for money...
On the drive home, we both lamented having eaten two Indian meals in two nights...
Back home, more work on the new recordings followed by “Match of the Day 2”...
Highlight of the Day : More recording...
