Are Saturdays the best days?  Probably...


I was about my business early on...

Here I am creating another new CBQ record - "Gould"...


...as the sun came up...


How on earth did that happen Dave?

On ripping the new CDs from yesterday, I collected together the four performances I now have of Glenn Gould's Opus 1, his string quartet...

And, it occurred to me...


...that I could combine the four to create something new with Mr G's DNA...

I painstakingly edited each of the four renditions of the 30 odd minute piece to obtain the maximum slowness available and then combined each of them - each of course slightly different renditions - and treated them in a CBQ stylee...

 And so, after a few hours work, this project becomes my ninth in the CBQ "composers" or "classical" series... 

Which was celebrated with a nice breakfast...


Weekend-tastic!


Out to my mum's soundtracked by the new piece...

She was delighted to see me...


We counted up how many items she had in her freezer, she being convinced the next order was due to arrive next Wednesday...



As a result, I brought home four portions of "Beef & Potatoes" (leaving her with two) and, indeed, enjoyed one for my lunch...

Along with my new hat - or one of two new hats, ordered in the wake of supposedly losing my "anniversary" hat on Monday in that Glasgow...


While doing my mum's shopping, I bought a couple of pairs of jeans and wore one while listening to some music in the back room, as you do...



Tasty chili tonight pre some football and more "Gentlemen"...


...as the darkness descended...


Germany through -  I have supported them since my first visit there, 50 years ago, in 1974, when I discovered Konigssee...

In fact, we set off for Deutschland 50 years ago yesterday...

In honour of this, watching the match was soundtracked by tracks from 12 LPs released that year...



...not a single one of which was, however, bought that year...

Oh well...

Highlight of the Day : New music created...
