I hope you are all well & warm this (very) cold Friday night !! Well - it feels cold to me - but, as I'm in the house, with the heating on, I can't really complain tooooo much !! Anyhoo - "Greetings".. where ever you might be, to read my words !! From Russia, thru' Europe, down to India & back over to America - I thank you all for logging in today !!
Right - As I type, J is behind me (washing the supper dishes) ME is out at her boyfriends for the night (I think) & My Wife & Dearest Friend, B has just left for a gym class of some description or other !! I know it's different each night, but.... what they are, I really don't know !! As long as she is happy, I honestly don't mind !!
So - that's the family.... the music of the moment is U2's 'Rattle & Hum' Cd. Well, actually - it's a tape containing a few tracks from 'R & H'. I just wanted something different to listen to, while I typed, sooooo... this has landed in one of the tape decks !! Talking of something different.......
.... We went into the town library today & in the Cd section, I found a 2 Cd set by Kourosh Yaghmaei - I hope I've spelt that right (?).... anyways. It's called 'Back From The Brink' & is subtitled 'Pre- Revolution Psychedelic Rock From Iran: 1973-1979' That's all I know about it - other than I played one track earlier & it sounded like 'Turn On Your Love Light'... with a non-English vocal !! It sounded very weird, but - well, I will enjoy playing that tomorrow, or maybe sometime later tonight !!
That's what I enjoy about the library - as long as you don't confine yourself to just one or two styles of music - I guess, you have to be prepared to listen to everything, with-out bias, well.... there is sooooo much music in there to listen to !! I could just look in the 'Rock' section.... but, I like going thru' everything & today I found this (above) set !! Great stuff !!
As mentioned, yesterday, I had to go into town today.... it was time to see another of my Consultants !! She was not happy, not with me - but, the fact that my surgery has to be done over !! Like most people we talk to about the whole implant thing...."How could they get it wrong" is the usually answer... or words to that effect !!
If all had gone right - she admitted - I would of been taken off some of my med's...... but, as I'm still fairly low & I have to go thru' it all again, she wants me to stay on them for a while longer !! That's a bit of a bummer, but - I can understand why !! With the surgery being done again & the way I am, she feels it would be "unwise" to mess with things (drug-wise) - well, until I'm a little better, at least !!
I can understand that - she doesn't want to add problems, on top of problems, sooooo I will see her again in a few weeks & we'll see how things are going !! I go back to the hospital on March 1st - so, I'll see her a day or two after that & we'll plan what is going to happen then. I would of loved to have taken some of the drugs out of the system, but.... maybe next time !!
I did get a compliment tho'..... she says that I take good care of myself, even with all the problems we have to put up with !! I say "we"... because B has a great hand in how I am & she is good at keeping me going !! Ho-hum........... without B, well - life would be a bit of a 'problem' & I'm sooooo grateful to her, for what she does for me !! My Wife & Dearest Friend !!
The tape has moved on & Peter Gabriel is playing 'Biko' as I type - a great track !! Even my Buddy Christ is bopping along to it...... I can't go wrong !! Buddy Christ ? Check the web !!
On the Led Zeppelin front.... I found one live set from today... so, on February 3rd 1975, they were in New York... at Madison Square Gardens & they played:
CD 1
1) Rock & Roll
2) Sick Again
3) Over The Hills & Far Away
4) In My Time Of Dying
5) The Song Remains The Same
6) The Rain Song
CD 2
1) Kashmir
2) No Quarter
3) Trampled Underfoot
4) Moby Dick
Cd 3
1) Dazed & Confused
2) Stairway To Heaven
3) Whole Lotta Love
4) Black Dog
5) Communication Breakdown
So there you go - another Led Zeppelin bootleg from my collection....... The set list doesn't change much, for the rest of the 1975 American tour, but it all comes together as the weeks went on & get better, I think, almost every night they play !! As usual, don't pay for any bootlegs !! Buy the official albums !! More another night - as & when I find the Cd's that is !!
Next week - maybe towards the end, I'm hoping to put another order in to Hittin' The Note - free plug for you there Lady V (again) - but, I'll have to see how things go !! If I get the shows a few at a time, I don't pay anything in import duty - it's a bit of a b***er when a package comes & I have to pay another £20 or £30 on top, to have from the postal service !! That's about how much extra it cost to get the Beacon box set last year !! It's not the bands fault - it's just our postal service & government trying to get more money out of the little people !! You know - the ones who have to use their service, or go without !! They get you all ways, they really do.......
.... I'm thinking about Joe Pesci character in the 'Lethal Weapon' films !! I won't quote him, but if you know the films, well - you might understand what I'm thinking about !! Oh well..... I might watch one of the films later, being as I'm thinking about them !! Onwards....
The plan for this weekend... well, I have been told to rest a bit, so.... that's what I better do !! Mind you, if I do much less, I may as well give up & go dig a hole someplace !! No... anyhow, so I will be staying here most of tomorrow, at least & if I'm well enough, we will head to Church on Sunday. We will have to wait & see how things go. It's meant to be a cold weekend, so... I'll probably light the fire & sit in front of it for (more than) a few hours !! I will let you know how things go.... but for now, I will away... until next time.. !!
Bye Bye
