475 performances...

Playlist


This morning, after posting a late #CDFriday to BlueSky...


...I fired up the machines with a view to editing yesterday's session...





...but I got sucked in to analysing the stats for the band for 2025...

During 2025, over the course of the 18 times we played together, we played 475 songs (ave 26 per session/gig), from a repertoire for the year of 80 different songs...

*from the original Capital Models canon...

We covered a total 43 different artists during the year, across the 80 songs...

The most covered was the original Capital Models, with 10 songs...


Over the course of the 3 gigs we played, we performed a total of 99 songs from a combined repertoire of 59 different songs (so, 21 songs rehearsed were not performed live)...  

4 songs were played at all 3 gigs, while 23 were only played at 1 gig...



We never got the chance to play any of the original Models songs live - maybe next year...

This is how I waste my time...

Breakfast...


Then, editing the recordings from yesterday - just 25 minutes had to be taken out...


Fang popped by...



...and was duly rewarded...


Another Wordle - Xmassy again, kind of...


While Anne was out at Pickleball, a squirrel was noticed on the roof opposite...



...and work and listening back took place...

This afternoon, while keeping an eye on Queens beating Montrose in Dumfries 1-0, we watched two "Chicago PD", "Sister Boniface" and a "Father Brown" that, if we'd seen before, we'd forgotten about...

Which took us to tea time, some wine...


...and expertly prepared...


...chilli salmon with n'duja sprouts and potatoes...


Xmassy...

This evening, the "Strictly" final - a win for Karen the ex-footballer when, really, on the basis of the dancing skills, although there wasn't much in it, Amber should have won...

Not to worry...

Then, to round off the day, two episodes of "Bones" and Premiership Highlights...

Perhaps too much telly was watched today...

But, it was enjoyed so, you know...

Finally, re what's going on in the USA, this seemed apt...


Lights out at 11:30...

Highlight of the Day: Analysing...
