Up late and listening to the podcast from 6 months ago...

Time really does fly, even when you're not really having that much fun but just making your way through from day to day...

Nice views...

Headphones await for another day's listening while WFH...

Let's go...

Luna entertained at breakfast time...

...and later, on a coffee break...

She likes the squirrel really and does not want to eat it - we tell ourselves...

Listening today to the three Uriah Heep LPs recorded with John Lawton as vocalist, replacing the fired founding member, David Byron...

Listened with fresh ears and baggage left at the door and found them to be much better than I expected...

This led me to download a few albums by keyboardist and main songwriter of the band, Ken Hensley...

Not quite so good but still OK...

Also Rick Wakeman's "Two Sides of Yes" - slimmed down to just the six solo piano pieces. The excisement of cheese lead this to be, for me, quite possibly, his best solo album...

Badly out of focus but mighty tasty prawn linguini for tea...

The final episode of "Guilt" enjoyed and, eventually, worked out....

Followed by the rather inferior but entertaining, "Shetland"...

Some chat on Twitter re Bartok...

Resulted in...

...one of the above, the Bartok contingent on the refilled phone, accompanying me into the land of Nod...

And, today, 2004 was culled to these 75...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Guilt...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
