Greetings !!

Well Hello Everybody - How has your day been so far ?!

Our's has been well good !!  As I type, we are all here & that's unusual in it's self.... but, add to that it's been a bright Spring day + it's our wedding anniversary !!  So all is well with the World !!  Well, our little bit of it at 
least !!

Having said we're all here - B has just gone out for a walk down to the village shops !!  She'll be back soon..... so, ME is here beside me, doing some Uni stuff (B & ME had to go up to Bristol this morning) & J is up in his Hobbit hole of a room !!

More by luck than any plan I made - a book I had ordered, for B, came this morning.... so that's her anniversary pressy !!  It's another cook book... so, the kitchen will be smelling good in a day or 2 as she tries out new recipes !!  Also, by luck - my gift came today as well - the new Bruce Springsteen 'Wrecking Ball' album...... which is the music of the moment !!  Onwards......

A little later, ME is heading into the hospital, to check out a ringing in her ears !!  M, her boyfriend is driving her in - so we're all hopeful that goes off Ok !!  We'll see how she gets on, a little later, I guess !!

Right..... it's March 5th.... so - it has to be a Led Zeppelin show from this day & there is only one that I can pick !!  Why ?  Well - it's from this day in 1971 & the band were in Belfast, for the first & only visit to Northern Ireland..... the tracks are:

CD 1
1) Immigrant Song
2) Heartbreaker
3) Since I've Been Loving You
4) Black Dog
5) Dazed & Confused
6) Stairway To Heaven
7) Going To California
8) What Is & What Should Never Be

CD 2
1) Moby Dick
2) Whole Lotta Love
3) Communication Breakdown
4) Rock & Roll
5) Bring It On Home

So - it was recorded by a guy (I guess) in the audience & little did he know at the time, but the tape captured the first ever 'live' performance of 'Stairway To Heaven' !!  Unfortunately, the whole song is  not on this tape of the show - but it's still worth having in the collection !!  As always - don't buy bootlegs !!  More from another day, another time.........

Right - our plans today... well, we're going to have a quiet day at home !!  It might be our anniversary, but..... I want a day at home & I think that is what we are going to do !!  Unless B comes up with another idea !!

I see from the 'stats' today - I've had a whole bunch of new readers, from new countries around the World !! I thank you all for logging in !!  I hope you will come back again & enjoy my words......  I'l keep writing as long as I can - so..... enjoy !!

This Springsteen album is well good..... there is a nice tribute to 'The Big Man' !!  "Clarence doesn't leave The E Street Band, when he dies.  He leaves when we die"  I thought that was a nice way to go !!  I must away....... I'm sorry this has been a short post,  thanks for reading folks, until next time...

Bye Bye
