Up and writing up three days of this drivel...
Scenes from the back room...
Not too early...
But, all too soon it was 9:10 and I was still in my onesie...
A coffee for breakfast then loaded the car and drove over to Paul's to take him out to Roslin...
Chat in the car was much about our respective mums having passed, Paul's just last week...
This was his first play with the band since our gig on 27 July (24 weeks), drummer Johnny's 1st since 28 September (15 weeks) and my, Johnny B and Keith's 1st since the trio gig on 5 October (14 weeks)...
And there was the new desk to contend with...
Arrived at 10:30 and, by 11 we were all set...
A two hour session, during which we played these...
Boys Keep Swinging
No Wallpaper in his House
Carefree
The "In" Crowd
So You Think You Can Dance
Dice With Death
Let's Spend the Night Together
Second Generation
Breaking Silence
Mother of Pearl
Paranoia's Got You
Stuntman
Rock'n'Roll
Orifix
Computer Operator
...only repeating a couple of songs, the guys all getting to grips nicely with the 10 songs taken from the original band's canon from 1979/80...
While we played, Moira very kindly baked a cake...
Chat...
The instruments awaited...
But we decided to leave it at that - we will reconvene next Sunday and, again, 3 weeks after that, which will be post a Morocco visit by Keith and partner, Elaine...
The boys in the band...
Keith took Paul back to Edinburgh, so, straight home, where Fang arrived at the same time, enjoyed some Dreamies and then, exited...
The weekend continued...
While Anne kept an eye on a 0-0 draw for Hearts in Aberdeen (they had a penalty saved in 92 - if only that had happened at Alloa yesterday!), I edited the recordings - 2hrs 12 down to 58 minutes...
An annoying buzz on the recording, in places drowning out the music, was a mystery, as nothing had been heard on the headphones as we played - I suspect electrical interference on the recorder's USB power lead...
And so, it took a lot longer than it should have, as I had to re-piece together a few tracks by editing together the sections where, in those pieces, the overwhelming buzz was absent...
Reasonable outcome...
In the evening, listening back while Anne watched "Countryfile"...
Tasty home made soup for tea (tinned soup for lunch)...
The opening two episodes of the final (thus far) series of "Bosch: Legacy" watched and enjoyed...
Then, compiling this week's podcast - said week having almost drawn to a close...
Added a new CD player to my basket on Amazon, following a YouTube vid...
£105...
We'll see...
Headphone output, volume controls, excellent internal DAC...
Apparently...
And, finally, downloading a few new to me jazz things via Tom Hull's latest listing...
Including a "new" thing from Happy Apple - which accompanied me to bed before midnight...
Highlight of the Day: Playing with the band and resurrecting the original canon...
