Up at around 5:30 and working on getting this up to date along with various other things, including the upcoming CBQ album...

Swithering on including some of the acoustic Eno covers, recorded just before I went into hospital, as some kind of "bonus " disc...

Meanwhile, along the road,,,

A contretemps?

Or just two chums shooting the breeze?

Sadly, that's not Meg the Black Cat...

Breakfast at home...

Including...

...nicely poached eggs...

Breakfast too, out front, the cats long since having made their respective exits...

A walk down the hill to update sleeping facilities...

Executively produced by the Executive Producer, after much testing...

Further walking on various errands, which also allowed a visit to the Cancer Research shop...

This resulted in some piano concertos entering the collection..

Weber, whose cousin, Constanze was married to Mozart...

...and Hummel, who was a pupil of Mozart and a genuine piano wizard in his day...

A walk back up the hill...

The view from the office this afternoon...

This resulted in Hearts v Partick Thistle being postponed (Queens beat St Mirren 1-0 in Dumfries having lost to them 1-0 last week in Paisley - now back to 4th spot in the league)...

Some work on the CBQ album but not as much as I'd have liked...

Too much thinking and not enough action perhaps...

Downloads by faves Uriah Heep and Adrian Belew also further expanded the hard drive selection...

On Twitter, people are always banging on about vinyl...

This is all I have left (other than the boxes of 7" singles in the attic)...

...and this is the last LP I bought - a 4LP set of Haydn string quartets...

Much TV was watched today with two episodes each of "Shetland" and "Spin"...

A very tasty curry was the order of the day...

In the evening we forewent "Casualty" (related to "Holby") and listened instead to Weber and Hummel, before hitting the sack...

Highlight of the Day : Musicking, kind of...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

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!
