Various – Tapes from the Attic
Up at 6:30 and to the PC for a couple more hours work on an anthology type thang which has been taking a reasonable amount of my time lately but which must be finished this week…
Three hours in, and old chum Jim Park arrived for some more recording for his Fringe Show, “The Silence of the Trams”…
Today we were working on the opening announcement and the between act links – in all we probably produced just under three minute of material, starting post breakfast at around 10:30 and finishing close to 2pm…
As a reward for the work done on Thursday and today (plus any further tweaks that may be required once the material has been set before the public), Jim very kindly took Anne and I into town to David Bann, the vegetarian restaurant owned by said David, an erstwhile five-a-side football colleague of Jim and I…
After parking, we strolled up to St Mary’s Street – where I used to live and where Anne and my’s first record shop was...
We passed two guys doing body-popping in the street to the quietest ever boombox – so quiet, you couldn’t hear the music until you were right beside them – as a consequence they looked like idiots...
Unlike the street dancing, the food at David Bann was superb, Brioche with spinach, shallot and poached egg for Jim and I to start, with a marinated vegetable and goats’ cheese salad for Anne, followed by a very tasty mushroom, broad bean and cashew curry for all three of us…
Desserts comprised warm plum and pineapple with coconut creamed rice for me...
...steamed rhubarb pudding for Jim and Scottish strawberry pannacotta for Anne...
...all nicely complimented by a bottle of 2008 Viognier, Trivento Tribu from Argentina …
It was a very pleasant surprise indeed to be joined later on by Jim’s sister Ann and by Ann’s, the Exec Producer’s and my old college classmate Karel and her partner David, through from Glasgow and staying with Ann for the week, with Ann herself back for a short stay from her home in Paris…
Much jollity and hilarity was enjoyed around the table before we emerged into the bright sunshine to take some commemorative snaps…

l-r Anne, Karel, CBQ, Ann, Jim, David
Jim then drove us home and, despite the beautiful weather outside, I went back to the first project of the day and, by 8:30 had finally completed the edits and reworkings on the content of this special six CD set…
All that remains is to create the actual discs and packaging – no pressure…
Prior to a couple of old day-rounding-off episodes of “Have I Got News For You” on Dave, I joined Anne in the living room for the documentary “Man on Wire”, regarding an amazing feat which only one man has ever, and can now ever accomplish – walking a high wire strung between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York…
Unbelievable…
Everything I do is rubbish compared to that…
Oh well – onwards and upwards…
Highlight of the Day : Old friends…
