Up and at'em...







I don't recall what on earth I did for the two hours between rising and this (probably updating this and catching up on that internet and its distractions - or even WFH) but part of it was spent listening to this from just over 3 years ago, the story of a day I went to that Glasgow and bought 20 CDs - ah the old days - and, of course, suitably eclectic and very good, if you can persevere through the first track...


Good skies when they finally lightened up...


I did what I often do and looked up what I was doing on 25 November in each of the years covered by this blog..

On this day in 2009, we went to see Alice Cooper - he was the same age then, as I am now...

This led me to spend the morning listening to Alice Cooper's live output over the last 15 years or so, playing one version of each of the 48 songs featured in his live sets...

Lunch and a "Man Down"...

In the afternoon, all Coopered out, I turned to modern classical music for my listening...

I expanded the Wergo and Col Legno playlist created the other day to include any "Contemporary Classical" and listened to quite a few of the pieces which that revealed...

In the early evening, while Anne cooked a curry, this entertained, reasonably appropriately, in the back room...


And then, curry time...


Yowsah!


Eventually, the machines were turned off...


Eventually, it was time for bed...

Highlight of the Day : The Coop, live...
