A walk down to Stockbridge today, soundtracked by my rehearsals from yesterday and thought I might return empty handed...

However, after trawling through the majority of the CDs for sale in the various Charity Shops down there - and there are quite a few - my last port of call was the Cancer Research shop, where I found this for just 125 new pence...

It's a bit of a change for Einaudi, including as it does various instruments other than his usual solo piano - with live electronics by Robert Lippok of To Rococo Rot and Tarwater...

Nice...

Meanwhile, back home, these awaited...

I am a fan of the bassoon...

The Pausini disc is a special edition of an album I have already - it comes with a live 20 minute medley recorded on New Year's Eve 2011 of, mainly, disco hits - plus a DVD of her 2011 live show...

Looking forward to seeing her live in London in October...

Later, a further, unofficial, Pausini compilation was also downloaded...

Also today, I didn't play this, recorded 12 years ago now...

Maybe someone out there will like it...

It reminds me that today is my mum and dad's 61st Wedding Anniversary...

We kind of celebrated yesterday...

Meanwhile, Anne created a superb dish tonight, based around lamb and sweet potatoes, as seen yesterday on Sunday Brunch...

Very tasty indeed...

But unpictured prior to being scoffed...

On TV, a new drama "Marcella" was also much enjoyed - they just keep on coming...

Lights out...

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!
