Anyway, who should I meet again today in Fopp but Count Brodski - and we're off to a Record Fair tomorrow which will make it three days in a row...
"So, Dave, what did you get today?" I hear you ask...
Well...
Firstly, two Rainbow albums I didn't have already (always good not to have CDs already when you buy them), their first and third, "Long Live Rock'n'Roll", both of course featuring the mighty but sadly departed Ronnie James Dio..
Then, Dave and Ansel Collins Trojan reggae classic, "Double Barrel" from 1971, featuring their two big singles "Double Barrel" and "Monkey Spanner" and a second reggae based treat, the eponymously entitled "The Upsetter" - of which, coincidentally, the good Count also partook...
Picked up by the Exec Producer and drove home...
Suffice to say "Double Barrel" lasted barely three and a half songs before it was rejected by the EP for being "rubbish"..
It was replaced with her own "Milano Jukebox" collections...
Back home a disc awaited by jazz drumming giant, Gene Krupa - not the greatest but good to have in the "library"...
A quick turnaround and we drove through to Glasgow for a concert of new Swedish music played by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at the City Halls...
...where, a long time ago, me and the EP used to sell concert tapes by the shed load...
Anyway, tonight's programme, preceeded by fiery Ginger Beer and a cheeky wee G&T...
....was conducted by Andrew Manze, recorded for broadcast on BBC Radio 3...
....and featured all UK premieres...
Victoria Borisova-Ollas - Angelus
Britta Byström Förvillelser - Delusions (featuring Tine Thing Helseth on trumpet)
Tobias Broström - Transit Underground
Anders Eliasson - Symphony No.4
Anne wondered how classical music will survive in a few years' time as almost the entire audience were in their eighties!
My preferred pieces were the first and second while Annie enjoyed the Symphony best...
The composer of the third piece was in attendance - he seemed a very nice young man...
An excellent evening's music...
Afterwards, we popped over the road to Pancho Villa's...
...and enjoyed a tasty Mexican dish each before heading back to Edinburgh...
Now that's what I call a Friday...
Highlight of the Day : Out concerting with the Exec Producer...
