Another lovely day...



...and a great big Happy 14th Birthday to Meg the Black Cat...





She has now officially resided at Crispycat Towers for 6 of our human years - and she covets the inside of my guitar and equipment bags...





She is great...

To FOPP again at lunchtime and, today, a £3 jazz disc - Joe Zawinul's 1971 album "Zawinul"...

A good chat with sister Pam again today - her bloods are fine and the treatment continues apace with little or no side effects thus far...

She's worried it's not working because she feels so well - I said it's the side effects that make you ill not the work the treatment does...

Of course, I'm not a doctor...

Headed home just after five...



...and a quick turnaround and over to the Music Box at Stevenson College for the third get together of Capital Models...

Once again, we were the quintet of me, bassist Jamie "James Jamieson" Frain, guitarist Angus "Gus" Bolton and our two drummers, Jim "Victoria Biscuit Tins" Park and Keith "Multi Instrumentalist" Apter...

Here are Gus, Keith and Jim playing hide and seek...




...here's Jamie looking a bit puggled after a hard night's work...



..and here's your correspondent giving the thumbs up, flanked by the two drummers...



A different night to the previous two, where we basically set up the equipment and proved to ourselves we could still play the thirty odd year old tunes...

Tonight we started to kind of work on things - so in a way it was less enjoyable but in another way it's kind of set us up with a potential future...

Again, we recorded the evening's musicking but I doubt there will be anything worth uploading quite yet...

The next step is for us to get together away from the rehearsal rooms and work out some arrangemnts then take them back and add the drums and percussion and see how things pan out...

The now obligatory band shots were taken in the deserted car park...







Back home, updated this and listened to recent purchases, my own stuff having soundtracked the day...

Highlight of the Day : Musicking with my old buddies...
