My 2,850th post...

Idiot!

Up late (8:30) to find more orders and that I was now over 30 CDs behind on the old production line front...

67 CDs and 3 mugs to get sorted...

To work – post a visit to the store for bread – breakfast whilst working...

By 1:30 I was up to date and ready to do some deliveries...

Ended up at mum’s in Loanhead with sister Sheila’s pack - we listened and my family found it to be good...

Home around 3:45 after another delivery...

At 4:30, bang on time, Impossible Songs’ John and Ali arrived for some good chat, some wine and some expertly prepared dinner from the Exec Producer, based around some of the best Sea Bass I’ve tasted...

J & A too received fulfilment of their order...

Ali has a book of poetry and photos out - "Sometimes Sound Stops" – top stuff...

A recent Med trip on a schooner was relived and looked spectacular fun...

At 9, it was time for J& A to make their way home...

At 10, after prepping for five days of this, footie highlights with Annie before hitting the sack reasonably early with a non-red wine intake induced headache...

Highlight of the Day : Visit from John and Ali - always great chat!

John & Ali said...: Thank you Mr CBQ! We had a lovely time and are both looking forward to diving into the box set. Absolutely sold on that You Tube creation around your interpretation of 'On a Clear Day'. Love your interpretation and also how it has been illustrated. Magic. Ali x; 9:04 pm
Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: Our pleasure Ali - always great meeting up with you guys...

Glad you like the video...

Completely out of the blue and I still have no real idea as to who did it...; 9:16 pm

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
