Playlist (Play) (Download)
Capital Models - Rehearsal Tapes
Various - iPod Shuffleplay
Simon & Garfunkel - Bookends

Why would a satsuma have a number?

Cold and Decemberish today...

Christmas is coming once again...

This evening, another three hour session with Capital Models...

We ran through the re-jigged setlists...

...stopping here and there to adjust arrangements...

...and try out new instrumentation and vocalisation...

Home around 11:30...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Rehearsing...

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!
