The day started in its usual (these days) fashion - collating yesterday's new music and the music played yesterday and uploading the pics from the phone to the hard drives then putting yesterdays' entry for this together - exactly as I am doing now for this entry...
I sat in the backroom post this...
...and advised the world, via Blue Sky, that, today, I might listen to some CDs or, even, LPs...
The world couldn't give a fu...that's enough Dave...
Two new portraits emerged...
Wednesday...
Anne to Zuba, me listenignto the songs which are being added to the setlist - looking to master versions to add to the part of "Repertoire" on Bandcamp that is free to stream...
That came to nothing...
But I did organise three setlists for the 24th May and posted them to the team for comment...
Tumbleweeds as ever...
Also redid the song sheet for Maggi May, moving it from A to D to make it easier to sing - and a clarified songsheet/instructions re "The Number One Song in Heaven" - as almost ever, John B was the only reactor to any of this...
Oh well...
Lunch on Anne's return and a Magpie jumping up and down to the coconut at the deeding station to get one peck each time at its content...
Meanwhile, we found the first season of Australian cold case drama "Black Snow" having watched episode 1 of Season 2 yesterday - so we watched 1.1 today and will watch the first season before returning to 2...
I love the scenery and the soundscapes...
This afternoon, I got the acoustic out of the attic and managed to run through the first two sets prior to leaving for this evening's entertainment...
This pic was taken tomorrow morning to remind me of that...
As we walked down the hill the Exec Producer advised, in her capacity as Exec Producer, that the lyrics to "Brown Sugar" left something to be desired vis a vis its (now acknowledged by Mick Jagger) inherent racism and misogyny...
...and so, on the bus into town...
I re-wrote the lyrics - rhyming Luger with Sugar and switching the subject matter from raping back girl slaves to praising a golden gun (per the lyric sheet in the pic above, printed off on our return)...
Let's see how that goes...
After all, the music itself is so great to play, it would be a shame to drop it...
Pre dinner drinks...
...then, to the restaurant for 5:30...
Cafe Centro...
Here, I now find it hard to see beyond the seafood pizza...
More drinks, in moderation...
Starters which, in hindsight, we probably didn't "need"...
And maions - a reminder, as ever, that this pizza was extremely close to the camera...
At 6:40, out and a 20 minute walk to the Festival Theatre...
...on a quite beautiful evening...
Obligatory pre gig pic...
We were her for Matthew Bourne's "Swan Lake" - my second time viewing, probably Anne's fourth...
Three hours later, the superb cast took its bows after a mesmerising and, re the finale, tear jerking, performance...
Absolutely fantastic dancing throughout...
We walked back to Prices St via the route take to the theatre, noting a large crane being moved into pace on Chamber St...
...and a lit up St Giles Cathedral...
Princes St and a 26 bus beckoned...
Home to relax, no telly watched...
To bed around 11:30 or so...
No CDs or LPs were played today...
Highlight of the Day : Swan Lake...
