Possibly the son of a man who makes houses for rabbits...

I have recently been soundtracking the days with older episodes of the Eclectic Selections - which I find entertaining because I've already forgotten the tracks featured...

A scorcher today...

...and some chance scenes...

I swithered over a book at the BHF, for which I may return and buy, if it's still there - a cross between a book on Modern Art and a Cookbook - featuring the recipes of the artists themselves...

This evening, Anne was once again ensconced in the Olympics - gymnastic and then cycling...

I watched some with the nutphones on, enjoying the work of vibraphonist extraordinaire, Bobby Hutcherson, who left the world yesterday at the age of 75...

He has provided us with a huge legacy of work...

Highlight of the Day : Revisiting Mr Hutcherson...

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!
