The music and company of chums...

Playlist (Play) (Download)
Various - iPod Shuffleplay
Impossible Songs - The Forth Wise Man

Cold this morning..

But - Christmas is coming...

So that's ok...

Lunch with my old chum Margaret at my new fave Italian in town, Quattro Zero...

Yum (pt 1)...

This morning, a song in the inbox from old music cohort Ian Sclater, for assessment - hopefully I can give that some attention shortly - although I promised him feedback today but failed...

Idiot...

Home this evening with still some Xmas buying to be done...

In a card received, a new CD from Impossible Songs - the impressive "The Forth Wise Man" - my fave track thus far is included in today's playlist - masterful hesitant piano...

Nice...

The first Red Thai Chicken Curry for a while from the Exec Producer went down extremely well...

Yum (pt 2)...

Then, a quick "Big Bang Theory" before a drive to The Gyle, a nearby "mall"...

Bumped into drummer Keith, not once but twice, as we carried out last minute shopping...

Home and added September purchases to the iPod then, downstairs for "Atlantis" on the Tivo and the last of "Fresh Meat" watched in real time...

Sad to see it go...

A comedy/variety show and then bed...

Highlight of the Day : First Red Thai Chicken Curry in a long time...

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!
