We've been there...

Playlist
Various - Morning Music
Capital Models - Covers Rehearsals and Setlists
Gary Husband - Dirty and Beautiful Vol 2

Up late...

Initial work comprised adding artwork to iTunes - all albums up to "C" done so far (I only did "C" today)...

Then, working on the recordings of the Capital Models rehearsals...

A break for breakfast, followed by one of the many episodes of "Montalbano" stored on the Tivo box for over a year now...

Back to work...

Also updating the Crispycat website now that access has been re-established...

Meanwhile, one eye on the footie - an unexpected win for Hearts in Aberdeen, 3-1 while Queens played league leaders Hamilton for the second week in a row down in Dumfries...

Having beaten them last week in the Cup, this week in the league, despite playing better, they went down by the same scoreline, 1-0 - not to worry...

In the evening, following some excellent home made quiche from the Exec Producer, two episodes of "Atlantis" and Michael Portillo's "Great European Train Journeys" - which was spent saying "we've been there", "we've been there" as he toured from Turin to Milan to Como to Verona to Venice...

Sparked holiday mode in our heads into life...

Late on, yet more work...

....finishing just after midnight, having constructed full versions of our two proposed sets for Xmas from recent and older rehearsal recordings...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Annie's quiche - mmm, mmm...

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!
