Up late today, kind of...


Scenes...





A new project started - one piece of classical music for each year on the planet - 1959 to 2020 (so far)...

Today I listened to pieces from 1959 through to 1975...

Whilst doing so, first thing, this arrived...


Its delights were not sampled until late in the day, due to "the project" taking precedence...

Tasty pasta for tea...


In the evening, researching, searching and downloading re years which I knew the extant collection was not going to cover...

Did pretty well though, only one year between 1959 and 1999 could not be covered...

Some telly and some lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Contemporary classical music...
