Up super early...

The view from the office this morning...


...at...


New purchases on the cans - continuing to listen in order of acquisition - so, first thing, some top notch Miles Davis...

I knew the '75 would be good but, on the basis of '81 and what I've heard so far of '88, I will need to re-evaluate the '81-'91 period...

Up dating the red book of CDs I own...



Over a quarter of the shelf taken up with yesterday's haul...


Then, a new project - noting I hadn't chosen "singles of the month" for December or January, I did that, and then decided to create a podcast for each year re my "history of the single" playlist...

So that took up a goodly amount of the day - 1959 - 1968 created...

Decided too to illustrate each year with a contemporaneous artwork...


Also, in the early afternoon, set about reprinting all the lyric sheets I've given away to drummer, now bassist, Keith re our musicking...

And sang through around half the songs...

A visit from chum Lynn - who brought some toffee muffins, her at Costa working son had brought home (he often plies Lynn and Ross with soon to be out of date cakes and goodies)...

Out to my mum's...

Decided Anne would not enjoy Miles '88 in the car, so we were soundtracked by tunes from the lesser know era of Mr David Essex's career...

Looking good in a new jersey, mum too enjoyed a cake...


Home around 5:30 and more practising, singing the remainder of the chosen songs...

While Anne created some tasty pasta...


Later on, another project - Twitter chums advising which were their "go to" LPs - I managed to pick out 25...

Filtering parameter was that I had to own them now on both LP and CD...


Of course, I couldn't leave it at that...

By 11 o'clock, and dropping the LP parameter, I had a list of over 250, now forming a new playlist on the 160GB iPod...

This is how etc...

Lights out with "go to" music on the cans...

Highlight of the Day : Mucking about...
