How long is the 'Lord Of The Rings' ???? I've been playing the complete s/t now for, what seems like, days & I'm only part ways thru' 'The Return Of The King' !!! It's a great idea having all the spoken word & music etc etc on cd - but it sure takes a lot of listening to !! Oh well - I've started, so I'll finish.....
At this great moment in time, I'm here alone (again). B, J & ME have all gone into town - I'm aloud to stay home on condition I take it easy... hence I'm typing these words, it can't get much easier than this, I guess.
Back on the Mr Dio death - did anybody see the tribute on the BBC ? It really is a shame that it takes his death to get a mention on Auntie Beeb !! Oh well - it's unlikely, but the Beeb do - or did - have some good concert tapes of the band. If Fluff or Mr Vance were still on the radio (RIP) we could hope for a re-broadcast or two... but, given the state of the radio these days, it's very unlikely !! We'll just have to content ourselves with the various DVDs & live stuff that's out & about.
I do not think it's right to make money out of bootlegs - it's also illegal folks - but thankfully there are some really good tapes of Dio in full flight... if you get chance try and give them a listen at some
point !! Just do NOT hand over any cash for them - if someone won't give them to you, please do not buy them !!!

The plan today & for the rest of the week is, basically, to take things very easy - nothing out of the ordinary there then - but, this weekend we are hoping to make the trip up to Bristol. Given the distance & my state of health, it'll be quite a trip for me - hence I need to 'rest' before going !
I sometimes wonder if people, who know us, fully understand how much day to day 'life' takes out of me. Please don't get me wrong - I'm happy to be here, alive & licking, but sometimes I just get a little p**s*d off when people say things......
Like yesterday, the Elders were talking about us making a trip up to Surrey (I think) - they do not seem to realise what that will mean to B & I physically & financially !! Oh well - we'll see... it's only a 200 mile round trip I guess, but.......
For anybody reading ("Hello") the 'Lord of the Rings' has just got to the BIG battle - not the very last one, 'The Battle Of Pelennor Fields' I think it is.... anyhooooo, it sounds pretty good !!!
Today is the 19th. - so in 5 days I will be playing Led Zeppelin at Earls Court in full. Ok, it is a bootleg recording - but I was there, so it will be good to give the whole tape a run thru' to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the show !! Good - but also kind of sad as well !! Am I sad - more than probable, but do I care..... Nah !!
There is a good story behind that concert - or at least my going to it... but I'll fill you in on that in a day or 5...
Take care...
