101 beckons...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Soundingfall
Various – Under the Radar
Various – Zunior Vol 4:15

An overcast day today...



Listening to the acoustic songs from Soundingfall – these will form the basis of my set in around six weeks’ time when I make my, as yet, only full appearance of 2009, courtesy of Jim Igoe’s Secret CD club, my hundred and first outing since my return to the fray in January 2003...

Speaking of Jim, a welcome e-mail tonight re Lloyd, the guy who collapsed at his party on Saturday...

Lloyd is awake and has smiled at his wife and even said a few words...

He is of course by no means out of the woods and his hopes of survival are still very much in the balance...

Fingers crossed...

E-mail discussions today with old musicking chum and original dad of Crispy the Cat, Peri Urban re his possibly re-mastering some of my output to add some special angel dust to proceedings...

A chat by phone too with Dr Prog re a Record Fair visit on Sunday and a night out on Saturday re the James Hessler Magic Show...

Other than that, spent the evening downloading free music from Zunior.com (Canadian Specialists) and the latest from The Wire for their subscribers, of whom I am one...

Note that I have not now purchased any new CDs for 11 days – I visited FOPP at lunchtime and was enticed by nothing...

So, tonight some tasty stuff was downloaded (especially from Zunior) along with, of course, some dreadful pretentious nonsense in places from my chums at The Wire - but then that is what they do...

Ended the day with “Match of the Day” and a couple of tasty oranges, as is my wont...

Highlight of the Day : Perhaps Lloyd will make it after all...here’s hoping...
