The first few seconds of 2024 were recorded in these screenshots as, as ever (well, you know, not "ever" but in recent times), we had not ventured out...











Happy New Year!

"Billion Dollar Babies" given a spin pre hitting the sack around 1am...

Consequently, up late...




A quiet breakfast...



But no Concert from Vienna this year as Anne had to pop over to her mum's first thing - the shops were open and there was shopping to be done...

Instead, we recorded it for later viewing...

To the machines...


As on 1st January last year, Argentine instrumental quasi-proggy outfit, Black Sky Giants, have released what must be one of the first LPs of the year and, like last year's, it's a cracker and so becomes my first LP of the Day for this year...


I have no other pics taken today but suffice to say, I got caught up for most of the day downloading and listening to top notch LPS from 1974 which I did not already have for some reason, ending up with 73 such new additions to the collection...

A very tasty tea of salmon en croute with chips and peas...

Some TV was also enjoyed...

Worryingly, less than 48 hours later, I cannot recall what...

A message late on, from Blue Sun Chasing from York, Pennsylvania, asking if I'd like to work on a new piece he has - I, of course, said "yes" and stems were duly supplied to me...

First new music project of the year beckons...

Highlight of the Day : Fifty year old music...
