Enjoyed Mr Bartok's string quartets this morning...

Followed by some Yes music - re the cross-faded collections compiled a couple of months ago now, inspired by Oz chum Mr Williamson...

Back home and Annie headed off to Tynecastle to see her team thumped 3-0 by Celtic and one Hearts fan attack the 'Tic's manager...

By all accounts the atmosphere was, shall we say, fraught...

Meanwhile, in the relative sanctity of Crispycat Towers, I watched "Solaris" (the original bleak, depressing 1972 Russian version)...

A call from sister Pam advised she will return to work, part-time and from home, at the end of this month - she wants to get some kind of normality into her life...

Good on her, I say...

I retired upstairs post dish washing duties and complied a wee disc containing the fifteen songs which comprised my first self-made chart, back at the end of 1972 (as posted here on Sunday)...





A goodly amount of time was spent trying to download any Rod Stewart collection containing "What's Made Milwaukee Famous"...

I am by no means a fan but, at the time, was the proud owner of this record, a double "A" side along with his version of Jimi Hendrix's "Angel"...

Anyway, that's enough drivel for today...

Oh, nearly forgot - a big Happy Birthday today to chum Birgit, up on the Isle of Luing!

Lights out to the sound of Mr Tippett...

Highlight of the Day : Sublime Bartok...
