Up just before seven......


Scenes from around the desk...




Breakfast...


And to uploading the over 100 tracks of what will be a virtual 12CD box set of "Sparklemusik", to be released on 7 May...


Some errors detected which meant having to redo stuff...


By close of play today though, the 15 (but see tomorrow's entry) tracks of the main LP were up...


..and the squirrel was happy...


The evening light was good...


Forgot to say that, yesterday, I was declared "the King" of CDs by recording artiste, Ryley Walker...

He'd tweeted "CDs are cheap to make, cheap to ship, and cheap(er) to buy. Sound great/manufacturing turnaround is fast as hell. Lowest overhead and most profit for a band. Buy CDs! Great way to support your favorite bands. Not undermining records, but CDs are just plain cool."

To which I responded "I quite like CDs", along with this pic...


He is correct of course - on both counts...

Also, tonight, I was playing the overture to Wagner's "Tannhauser" - and the "tea, a drink with jam and bread" refrain from "The Sound of Music"'s "Doe, a Deer" just popped up...

Music eh?

That's all...

Highlight of the Day : Uploading...
