Up early and even gained an hour...

The house is quiet without the Germans...

Uploaded the podcast -with them on the cover pic...

Messages later in the day advised a safe return home after a somewhat protracted journey...

Anne was off round to her mum's to meet up with Lynn and Ross re some changing of outside lights, which proved more problematic than imagined but was successfully completed nonetheless...

Spent some time adding albums to iTunes from Jorg's gifted hard drive - over 60 hours of Frank Zappa, Asia, Angel, Kluster, Cluster, Randy Pie, Grobschnitt, Eloy, Can, David Torn, Van der Graaf Generator, Gentle Giant, Udo Lindenberg, Focus and The Doors...

I even listened to some of it...

Lunch at home and then out to my mum's in the late afternoon...

The nights are fair drawing in...

"Oh so they are son"....

Good views from mum's front door...

Back home and more surfing and listening - bringing my "history of the single" up to date by choosing tracks for July to October this year - all four, Meghan Trainor, Green Day, Lady Gaga and The Weeknd feat. Daft Punk are songs I had not heard until tonight...

As it is these days with "popular" music...

Enjoyed fave singles from October 1959 to October 1979...

Later on, the return of "Humans"...

And soon, everything will be completely back to "normal"...

Highlight of the Day : Listening to old singles...

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!
