Music and postcards...

Playlist

Herman Van Veen - Elf Lieder

Herman Van Veen - Heute Abend

Strauss, R - Sonata For Piano; 5 Piano Pieces

A bit of a mess at the desk this morning...

..and that's after some tidying...

This for no apparent reason...

Who's this?

Meg the Black Cat of course...

At lunchtime, a good walk - during which a £3 disc of Glenn Gould playing some Richard Strauss was purchased at Fopp....

Recorded just a couple of weeks before Gould's death, it's beautiful in places but also contains the acquired taste requiring singing along which features so prominently in many of his recordings...

This evening out to Norman Lamont's show with John and Ali but, due to a previously arranged engagement up Corstorphine Hill with chum Lynn, no attendance from the Exec Producer...

A good show of around 9 or 10 songs, most of which Big Jim Whyte sang due to Norman's ongoing lurgi attack...

I found the onstage presence of a signer for the deaf a little weird and distracting but enjoyed the evening nonetheless, availing myself of a Lamont CD of the featured songs - plus postcards of artwork produced exclusively for the show...

A nice touch...

A lift home from the Impossibles to get to work again on the computer...

Onwards and upwards...

Highlight of the Day : New Gould...

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!
