Couldn't sleep any longer but feeling a lot better...


Within around an hour of rising, this was kept up to date and this...


...became this...


Remined people of my latest LP - good that there were loads of plays and some people nabbing it for free but no sales...


Oh well - downstairs for some reading and looking...


The EP arose...

Flowers doing well...



Little Hearts...


A further attempted performance recorded...


45 minutes of fun...

Out to Loanhead, shopping for my mum - and considering coffee changes for us...



Another frustrating visit - mum's interminable lack of hearing and of understanding anything much is wearing...

But, of course, it is surely worse for her...

92 and 2/3rds though eh?

On the way home, stopped off at Morningside and bought a few things...



Aimee Mann can always be relied upon to be good...


...while this is the same tour as the one we saw in Glasgow and is as featured on the Roxy Music Live 2CD set, the CDs though, are selected performances from throughout the tour, while this is the complete London concert...


A pianist by whom I have a couple of other things - good playing...


...and, previously unknown to me, Elizabeth Cook, US country singer - attracted by Matt Chamberlain on the drums and Willie Weeks on bass...


Finally, this 4CD set, like the Roxy DVD, still sealed - this has some quite dodgy things included but hey ho...


Swithered over this 101 Hits of the 70s collection but pretty sure I already have all the tracks...


Home...

Reminded by this, on the Bandcamp website, as to just why my music is exclusive to them...


Better for artists, a better way to support artists…

But, you know, if you want to support Spotify and its artist-destroying business model, that’s up to you…

Of course I am just as bad as anyone...

For example - I downloaded a recording of Jon Anderson's latest concert of Yessongs - very good indeed - added a bit of bass and split the track into songs, added a cover and Bob was your uncle...

Video killed the radio star...

Computers killed the music star...

Tried to rip the music from the Roxy DVD - problems with Audacity eventually overcome - but the sound needs some work - one for tomorrow...

An evening of telly watching and music listening...

And the weekend was once again, over...

Highlight of the Day : Performing, kind of...
