I'll take your three and give me three more...

Playlist

Yes - Yessongs

Herbie Hancock - Takin' Off

King Crimson USA

New flowers in the dining room...

...and tasty, zingy salad for tea...

Caught up with "Agents of Shield"...

Finished off the Blue Note documentary whilst lying on the settee...

"Vicious" and "Man Down" tonight - sadly, although funny, both seemed to have set the bar too high with their respective openers last week...

Listening today comprised "Yessongs", Herbie Hancock's debut - he went to Alfred Lion with three tunes expecting to record a couple of those and some standards - Lion came back with "write three more tunes" - and the mighty King Crimson's swan song of the seventies, "USA"...

Yowsah!

Right you two...

Highlight of the Day : Live prog from the 70's...

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!
