Soundtracked on another beautiful day by Rex the Dog and DJ Hell my two new heroes of digger-dagger music....

Took a different route this morning....



And at lunch-time...



Wandered to FOPP – no purchases...

In the evening out to Secret CD, picking up Mr James Jamieson on the way...

Jamie requested the new CBQ album as a soundtrack into town and I was happy to oblige...

We were entertained by quiet singer-songwriter Sophie Ramsay and by the duelling banjos of Blueflint but mostly by the last performance of Darren Thornberry and Thorns Musical Journey...



Unfortunately while Fannatica performed we were ensconced in conversation with Mr Scott Renton, recently engaged and just returned from a round the world trip with his now fiancé and a small Andy Capp doll...

Also chatted with Ian Sclater, Norman Lamont and former Electric White Boy, now Broken Tooth...

I collected quite a few compliments re the new CBQ album, notably on the use of Creek cohort Craig Sutherland’s rhythm beds on some of the songs...

I was buoyed by the kind remarks...

Drove Jamie home after good night out reconnecting with “the scene, man”...

Ended the day with Messrs Eno and Hassell, Marillion and the rocking Detroit sounds of Dick Wagner’s Ursa Major...

Cool...

Highlight of the Day : Doubts assuaged by confirmation and affirmation...
