Cloudland Blue Quartet – Vendôme (Compilation)
John Coltrane - The Stardust Session
A strange day...
Up just before six and renewed working on the proposed CBQ compilation, abandoned a couple of weeks back...
Decided against the majority of the usual suspects re songs to include and, with seven minutes set aside for “Vendôme”, I had around nine minutes each to play with re the eight CBQ song-based LPs released since 1997...
So, some planning early on...
Meanwhile, Meg the Black Cat was coveting the inside of the one of the wardrobes...
Breakfast around 8:30 to the sounds of Mr Coltrane before Anne headed off for Zumba with Lynn...
Out around 10:30 and walked down the hill...
...to Café Citro to meet up with post Zumba Anne and Lynn for coffee and cake, very tasty home made vanilla slices...
The ladies near the counter were watching the Royal Wedding on a lap top...
Two hours were spent chatting and coffeeing – Lynn advised she met Mr james Jamieson last night and he is planning a further evening of cover versions in the near future....
It would appear the Capital Models reunion has fizzled out...
Mid lady chat, although I took a wee walk along the High Street and popped into a couple of charity shops, picking up a double CD of the world's most popular (as voted for by readers of the Radio Times) classical pieces, of which I no doubt already own multiple versions...
Post this pic...
...Lynn cycled off home, while Anne and I bought some provisions for lunch from the local baker and walked back up the hill...
Home to scan through the Royal Wedding – watched at around 8 x Normal Speed, with no sound, it didn’t seem too bad – I even took a few pics of the TV...
Here’s the “arty” version...
A DVD of the delightful Irish film “Once” was enjoyed...
...although Meg the Black Cat slept through it...
I was so impressed with the music, I immediately sought out and bought the soundtrack for a couple of squid from Amazon...
Much of the evening was spent finalising the work on the “song” half of what has shrunk from a five CD set of utter hubris to “just” two discs...
I say "hubris" but of course this comes from the man who released a ten disc, thirty year anthology four years ago...
Much fairy dust was required re the chosen songs and was indeed applied...
A live episode of “Law & Order” rounded off a productive Friday...
Highlight of the Day : New sounding old stuff...
