Some fairly random listening, followed by a couple of Eclectic Selections from this week last year and two years ago, soundtracked the day...

From thsi I gleaned I am better now at it than I was then...

In the evening, my third night out in a row as a meet up with retired last year even though she was too young to retire Margaret returned for a catch up with me and chums Wenders and CK...

A visit to Zizzi (my first - and hopefully without any nerve agents) was on the cards...

Better than expected...

Tasty...

And accompanied by, all told, three bottles of white wine...

Good chat, even if much of it was about children - not my best topic it has to be said...

Out into the night...

...and to the bus stop as M and CK headed for Haymarket Station...

Home under moon and stars...

..and temporary traffic lights...

...and not too much the worse for wear...

Some telly with the EP rounded off the evening...

Today's artwork is "Night Out"

Highlight of the Day : Catching up...

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!
