Cloudland Blue Quartet 2017 Live Set

First thing, continuing the listen to the covers...

Updating this...

Then, to work on my own stuff...

Finalising the running order, reinstating the faster songs, not on the CDs given to JW and Keith...

Then, setting up the system for a more satisfying recording method, monitoring-wise...

...and some silent-ish guitaring (no singing) while Anne slept on...

Around 10, out to what has, once again, become our favourite breakfast venue, soundtracked by Mr Handel...

Lovely coffee...

...and breakfast provisions...

A lovely day...

...and a lovely Exec Producer...

Home, and, with Anne off to the shops, your correspondent got down to some singing and guitaring over the drums and bass recorded now nearly two weeks ago...

Twenty seven of thirty songs recorded in just under two hours...

Over to my mum's, again soundtracked by Mr Handel...

She was looking well and upbeat...

She doesn't like that walking though...

...but she persevered...

...until she could see the 1970's ex-goalpost trees...

...and the 1970's ex-goalpost lampost...

She made it a little further today but was just slightly too short to see over her back fence....

The walk round to the rear of her house and back again took nearly 20 minutes...

She promised to get out walking twice a day this week...

We'll see...

Home, and a visit from Tiger...

He knows what he wants...

...then he goes...

Then, to cooking - a team effort re salami and vegetable risotto from the cook book acquired earlier this week, soundtracked by the debut from that Grand Funk Railroad...

There was chopping and stirring by both members of said team...

Success...

After this tasty tea, I recorded the final three songs then set about editing etc...

The results are very much better than the demos I gave to the boys, with their, at times, comedy vocals...

Downstairs, another visitor...

Anne likes it when Fang calls by - he reminds her of Meg the Black Cat...

Ended the weekend with a couple of episodes of new comedy "Quacks", which we've been unmentionedly enjoying for a few days now...

That's it...

Highlight of the day : Recording...
