Ended the day yesterday post midnight, enjoying a recording of one of the highlights of last year, the Rheostatics at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto in September...

This morning I started sorting all my various artist compilations into alpha order by title...

Here are a few of them...


By the time we left for brother-in-law Keith and lovely wife Maureen's, picking up Anne's mum on the way, the task remained unfinished...

An excellent afternoon and evening down Leith way...

Drinks and Chilli, quiche and Spanish Omelette were the order of the day, before we all moved to the main room...

Step niece Rebecca's beau, Murray, was DJ on Deezer as everyone in turn picked tunes to try and delight the attendees with their impeccable taste...


The Exec Producer picked two by the Eagles plus Pet Shop Boys, Tramps and Take That...


Others threw the likes of 10cc, Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, Frank Sinatra, Outkast, Tiggs da Author, Everly Brothers, Matt Munro, Phil Upchurch, Edwyn Collins, The Corries, The Carpenters and Norman Greenbaum into the mix for the evening, while your correspondent suggested Grand Funk, Girls Aloud, Dave Edmunds and the Temptations...



Deezer provided the tracks in an instant - I'd have been up and down the stairs all night searching out peoples' suggestions on CDs...


It's easy to see how music streaming is going to become the norm for "the masses" over the next few years...


The music soundtracked good chat and good laughs...


Portrait of the beast by the Exec Producer - strange lighting makes my head look like the surface of a far off moon...




"I Love to Love" by Tina Charles had Ishbell up dancing like a demon...


 ...incidentally, the track had been chosen in error...


 The song being referenced in the conversation re Josef K...


...and their use of syndrums and the sound of said items on other records was in fact...


...Kelly Marie's "classic" "Feels Like I'm In Love"...


Seemed like a fitting moment for us to take our leave - just as "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" was firing up on the Sonos system...

Mum delivered home and back at Crispycat Towers around 11, after a very good day out...

Highlight of the Day : Party at Keith and Maureen's...
