Taking pics can lead to inadvertent pics being taken...

Playlist



#NewMusicFriday but problems with my system hampered matters...

Still, some very good new music was discovered via Bandcamp - Whitelands, We Are Only Human Once, Mink's Miracle Medecine, James Adrian Brown, Jakob Lindhagen, Ground Patrol; and further new releases from faves KMRU and Martin Sturtzer...

In addition, two singles from Soft Machine - their album, "13", will be out on 6 March...

Up late...





Influenced into listening to this by Sid Smith playing a vinyl 2LP box of Hogwood's take on the book...



Today's CD Box...

Metcalfe to Morricone...


Chose this Monteverdi disc...


...by L'Arpeggiata, led by Christine Pluhar...


Bought in a wee backstreet shop, Zardoz, in Hamburg on the very day of the Brexit referendum in the UK, on June 23, 2016 - the next day was, of course, an absolute shit of a day, unbelievably bad once the result was known...

As I said at the time, absolute fuckwittery, cubed...


Anyway...

Taking these pics led to a few more, inadvertent nothing known about until later pics, also being taken...




Friday the 13th...


...and this morning's visit from Stu Cobley postponed until Monday re the snow in Penicuik...


No snow here, just the Jackdaws...





For #CDFriday, I put out a shout on BlueSky for CD Box numbers and CD numbers, to see what would be randomly picked from all of these...





Just two, initially...

Turned out to be...


Glenn Gould playing Beethoven...





...and the Huelgas Ensemble singing De Rore...





Started playing the first of these...


...and reading the notes...


...when Keith Apter arrived for coffee and chat - no pics, but here he is on the bass...


Good times...

He went on his way (he was in the vicinity picking up his just repaired laptop) around 4:35...

Coats on and down the hill for a 4:45 meet up with Bernie and Gary in the White Lady...



Bernie...


Gary...


My old work chums of yore...


A tasty tea was enjoyed - 3 fish'n'chips and a chicken burger...


More good times...

We said our farewells just after 7:30 and back out into the cold...


And a bus back up the hill and home...

Some more #CDFriay random picks had arrived and turned out to be these...





















The full haul...


Taking these pics led to a few more, inadvertent nothing known about until later pics, also being taken...




Some "Younger" enjoyed and bed at, early for us, 11:30...

Highlight of the Day: Visit from Keith/Evening out with B & G...
