Slept in till 9:30 - no gym today - temperatures below zero...

New to me music from Richard Skelton via a chance posting on the Twitter...

And, of course, Tiger reappeared...

Some work on the "Rubinmusik" collection, including a cover revamp...

Equipment retrieved from the attic and loaded into the car...

At 11:30, off back to Roslin, this time to drummer Johnny's where drummer and now bassist Keith and I were greeted by Dr Prog's brother, his wife Moira and delightful daughter Chloe...

Once again, I forgot to document the visit so here are a couple of pics from the first visit back in February...

In all, we played for a round 2.5 hours - Chloe and Moira guested at points on tambourine and shaker...

Around 15 or so covers were attempted and some rust was evident but we have put a date in the diary to reconvene in January...

A step forward...

Stu Cobley may join us on guitar...

Back home, it was still freezing...

-4 degrees...

Tiger popped in yet again - he needs to spend more time in his own house...

Some TV was watched, "Strictly", the final "Blue Planet II" and two episodes of "Zapped"'s second series...

Left Anne watching football to get this up to date...

...and to bed around midnight...

Highlight of the Day : Playing...

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!
