Playing some songs again...

Playlist

Ekkehard Ehlers - A Life Without Fear

Sarah MacDougall - Across the Atlantic

Eric Carmen - All By Myself

Borodin - The Three Symphonies

Cloudland Blue Quartet - Covers 2015

And September is gone, half of it spent in Canada...

Feeding station is in demand, kind of...

Hello there you wee monkey...

The sun is not shining on Volkswagen right now but it was this morning on this one...

A telegraph pole - I like them - they take stuff places, kind of...

Another lovely day in Edinburgh...

...and home under a low Autumn sun...

...for some late evening...

...simple guitar/vocal recording of three sets of covers...

Considering I usually play bass on these and quite a few of the keys had to be amended, I did not do too badly for a first run through...

This may be the start of a new project, as if I don't have enough already - the two exhibition pieces for Manchester and New York are done and away now though, although not yet "out there", man...

A well-deserved rebuke from the Exec Producer was received, as I launched into the final number, "Blue Suede Shoes", at gone 10:30 - hence the shout of "last one" on the tape of proceedings, not that anyone other than your correspondent will ever hear it...

And of course I forgot to press record for the entire first set...

Highlight of the Day : Playing some songs...

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!
