Midnight special...

Playlist
Various – Last 12 Months on Shuffleplay
Jimmy Smith – Cool Blues
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Splinterheart Live
Jimmy Smith – Midnight Special

To FOPP today for the first time in a while and purchased a Jimmy Smith album not yet in the collection...

Back home, to the gym for a run...

This evening, Anne had prepared a very tasty tea comprising lamb shank with barlotti bean and chorizo stew, carrots and mash...

Mmmm, mmm (but no pics)...

And a tasty bottle of French red...

Meg seemed back to normal after yesterday’s episode...

Spent the evening in the living room watching TV – 2 x Corrie plus a Chopin Piano Concerto on BBC4, “No Tricks” and “The Graham Norton Show” – a big improvement on Jonathon Ross...

As Anne sloped off to bed, Meg and I took to the back room and enjoyed the music of Mr Smith before turning in, appropriately, just after midnight...

I see the gym is having an effect on my belly...

Or perhaps not...

Highlight of the Day : Quality time with the family...

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!
