Up early and some file splitting re the recent downloads by Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Roger Waters...

A big coffee, as these were recorded for posterity...

Later, breakfast at home...

Today, as you can see by the state of the egg, prepared, solo, by me...

Tasty nonetheless...

Some tidying of the back room - yesterday, I re-set up the biggest hi-fi in the world, using the PA again - having tried to reinstate the small speakered hi-fi with much moving of stuff around, only to find that one speaker didn't seem to be working...

Anyway, music enjoyed in the back room - some Schubert, some Joe Zawinul and, then, back to the #Yesathon, with today's LPs being "Going for the One"...

...and "Tormato"...

"Going for the One" was the first Yes album I bought at its release date...

I'd previously acquired "Fragile", "Close to the Edge", "Tales from Topographic Oceans" and, then, "The Yes Album"...

Shortly after buying this on Friday 19 August 1977, I added "Relayer" to the collection...

As for "Tormato", it's never been one of my favourites - I didn't buy it on it's release, though I did get the single "Don't Kill the Whale" and also taped the famous Wembley concert from the tour that year...

It wasn't until 1980, when, on the evening of 11 December, round at chum Jorg Sonnenschein's house with the EP before we headed home to Edinburgh for Xmas, Jorg decided to gift me the LP (along with Rush's "Permanent Waves") ...

It sounded a lot better today than I recall it having done in the past, though Rick Wakeman's keyboard sounds still irk...

Out once again to the cathedral, today for some very loud indeed organ music...

In an hour long set, organist James Orford played pieces by Dupré, Vivaldi (which he's transcribed himself), Vierne and Reger...

Seldom have I heard anything louder...

Tasty...

As were the baguettes from the Yellow Deli in Tollcross for lunch, before coffee and cake at nearby Machina...

Then to St Michael and All Saints Episcopalian Church for some 500 year old music from the lute...

 and recorders...

...of  duo, Musica Mundana, comprising Annemarie Klein and Eric Thomas...

 ...both of whom provided interesting background chat between numbers...

...by de Rore, Spinacino, van Ghizeghem, Caron, Heinrich, Virgiliano, Busnois, des Prez and Festa...

Delightful stuff - though possibly not quite the EP's cup of tea, recorder wise...

A walk through the Meadows, past Greyfriars - where a Penguin Cafe Orchestra CD was picked up for a quid...

...and down to the Cowgate for drinks at the venue for tonight's comedy show...

...the very funny indeed and best of the Fest so far, Henning Wehn...

...with his Brexit insights...

Top notch...

A baked potato on Jeffrey St and two buses home...

Podcast links and the first half of the programme recorded before hitting the sack around midnight...

Today's artwork, "Achieving the One"...

Highlight of the Day : Henning Wehn...
