Reasonable rise...

Interesting sky...

...and, erm, leads...

Young Rocky came in for a brief visit before climbing the neighbour's tree trying to catch small birds...

She failed of course...

Into town around 10 to do some work, then, at 1, out for lunch at La Piazza with Anne and old chum Christine...

Tasty pasta all round post tasty unpictured bread related starters...

Good chat and then a bus along to Corstorphine, where coffees and empire biscuits were enjoyed by your correspondent and his Exec Producer...

Then, a walk up the hill for the less than dynamic duo...

...and home...

...where, for a good couple of hours, we were entertained by today's purchase..

This is a lot funkier than I anticipated...

I liked the packaging too, with each CD reflecting a differnt era of the group, active from 1952! to 1989...

I may well research the old back catalogue...

..much of which is on here...

Meanwhile Elon Musk's Space X rocket blew up...

My band at High School was called Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly...

Elon also removed Blue Ticks from Twitter today...

Not to worry...

I noted that, in two day's time, it's Record Store Day once again...

Let’s face it, “Record Collecting” is almost 100% about the packaging, not the music...

Most records are rare due to the packaging - the music, in most cases, can be quite easily sourced from elsewhere...

It’s an enjoyable pastime but it’s not about the music…

Anyway, the pigeons were having fun...

In the evening, three more episodes of "Designated Survivor"...

To bed around midnight...

Highlight of the Day : Out for lunch

Today's new music:-

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!
