Quite a few new albums have come into the collection over the last few days...

Today, it was mostly Japanese, Chinese and Italian classical music and solo albums by members of D.A.F. and Uriah Heep...

Both Ken Hensley and Lee Kerslake, members of my favourite line up of the Heep, died last year but have just had actually pretty good posthumous albums released...


Also today, I finalised the next CBQ LP which will be called "Dissolution" and will be versions of the piano pieces created yesterday, along with faintly ambient backgrounds...

I am liking it...

Here's how the cover moved to its final design...

This was the stuff I initially did on Saturday - which will now be (bonus tracks on) disc three...


...while Sunday's work will be bonus tracks on disc two...

Then, I thought about a yellow cover...

This is actually a treatment of part of Anne's latest painting...


...as was the next idea..


But, eventually, I plumped for this - which is a black treatment version of a picture of me playing a piano on 8 September 2015, on the street in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada, on the Georgian Bay...


Here's the final track listing - out 2 April, I think...


Anyway, to do this, I was, of course, up early...


This will probably end up as a cover too...


Coffee time...


And so a day of WFH and listening (including the new LP)...

And some top singles from the 1970s - a new playlist idea...

A visit in the afternoon from Fang...

He decided to stay for a wee sleep...



More coffee...


...and playing some random LPs - getting to the end of the list...

In fact, this was the 4th last....

I’ve discounted Robert Fripp’s “Network” re being a 12” single...

Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here”, bought 20/9/75 for £2.59...


 ...brand-new, in the black plastic wrapper, now long gone...


Quite possibly Pink Floyd’s best LP... 


Words, Synths...


...Guitar, SFX..


In the evening Holby...

Cameron is beyond the pale...

Highlight of the Day : Pink Floyd....or me...aye, Pink Floyd...
