The specmeister...

Playlist

Cloudland Blue Quartet - Four Last Things

More work this morning remixing and rejigging the proposed new CBQ album...

For the rest of the day, listening back - which takes a while...

A sunny day...

At lunchtime, still listening as I walked down to Stockbridge...

No purchases...

In the evening, a tasty dinner at Browns in George St with chums Gaz, Lodger, Kev and Mr Heggie amongst others...

Then, a walk along said George St...

...to the Assembly rooms...

...for Fred McAuley's stand up show...

...which was "not bad" - few if any belly laughs involved - perhaps if he'd baited the "yes" voters in the front row a bit more it would have been funnier...

Drinks afterwards...

Then, to St Andrew square for more of the same...

As dusk fell...

Made my way home...

...catching an Airport Bus at Waverley Bridge...

...and walking up the hill...

Two episodes of "Person of Interest" concluded the current series and set things up nicely for the next...

Consequently, no time to sample these arrivals - Fee Waybill of The Tubes' second album - hard to find these days...

A solo piano disc of crossover classical/jazz by Joachim Kuhn...

...and yet another Gerhard Richter book - the guide (in German) from a 2010 exhibition in Dresden...

Off to bed, having worn each of these at some point today...

The specmeister...

Highlight of the Day : A wee night out...

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!
