The opposite of electric...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Proposed Sampler
King Crimson- Red
OMD – Organisation
OMD – OMD
UK – Danger Money

Some work today on the flyer for the gig and thinking about offers on the CDs for the night, in a bid to get some sales...

To FOPP at lunchtime to get King Crimson’s “EleKctric” album but, alas, all copies had disappeared...

As a very poor substitute, I picked up OMD’s debut album plus bonus tracks for just £3...

In the evening to Stu and Ali’s where, not in bed by the time I got there this time, I met their daughter Lily for the first time in over six years – for her of course it was the first time she’s ever seen me, so she was extremely shy...

The rehearsal went well all told, although the first run through was ropey to say the least but predictably so given our 15 day lay-off...

We reworked “Never or Now” to the point where we’re happy with how it’s shaping up...

Some of the tempos were a bit awry but, on the whole, it’s sounding good...
And I love the way Peri’s beard and hair change from week to week...

Home to see the highlights of Rangers’ humiliating 4-1 home defeat, their second 4-1 home defeat in the Champions League this season – and people said QoS were an embarrassment to Scottish Football when they played in Europe?

Highlight of the Day : Rehearsing again...

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
