Reboot, remake, remodel...

Cloudland Blue Quartet – Track of the Day
“Dirty Men in a Red Car” from “Callingstill” (1997)


Playlist
Various – Albums Owned in the 70’s
The Rolling Stones - Rolled Gold
Deep Purple - 24 Carat Purple

Not much happened today, other than, I continued to download or create old albums I owned in the 70’s – today’s were, in particular, The Rolling Stones’ 1975 compilation, “Rolled Gold”...



...I, of course, recreated it on 2CD with the original tracklisting rather than the re-released version which contains a further twelve tracks and has the running order mixed up – and Deep Purple’s classic compilation, “24 Carat Purple”...



I have now recreated nearly 50 albums since the start of the year...



Oh yes - and I managed to have the Exec Producer's Netbok fully repaired and, in fact, improved, by IT Gurtu Martin - a different Martin from our other IT Guru, Martin, if you follow...

We had haggis for tea, in honour of the really not that entertaining or indeed good poet, Robert “Rabbie” Burns – we are off to a Burns Night at Jim Park’s on Friday and I have selected one of RB’s poems, anglicised it and intend to write a tune to it to perform on the night...

....and we watched another two episodes of the quite addictive, “The Killing” - quite apt then that today's track of the day is entitled "Dirty Men in a Red Car" - or maybe that should be red van...

Highlight of the Day : Living in the past...
