'Last Of A Dyin' Breed' & other stuff......

Hello Worlds !!

"So, here I am once more.... "  Sorry - I couldn't resist !!

Short break later..... miss me ? No... !!  To try & explain... as I started typing, I was playing Marillion's 'Clutching At Straws'... so, if you know anything of Marillion, the opening line ... well.... But, just after I started typing - the postman came & delivered the brand new Lynyrd Skynyrd Cd, 'Last Of A Dying Breed'.. so, I went & changed the music - in the short break - and now, it's Skynyrd's time to shake the house !!

So - anyhoo.... "Greetings" !!  I hope your day is going well ?  With the new arrival of this album, my day has really picked up !!  I was feeling a little out of it... but, now... it's all good !!

So - that's the music of the moment... as for the family, J is upstairs & the ladies of the house have gone shopping.... not B's favourite thing in the Universe, but... ME wanted to go, so they went together.  I've no idea when they will be back - but, as she went, B told me to take my 4pm pills if I needed them..... as it's now a little after 12 noon... well.... I'll see them when they get here !!

If my memory is correct, I didn't post yesterday.  I can't really remember !!  Over the last 3 nights (now) I have had a few problems..... and yesterday, I just sort of "gave up" and headed to bed really early... hence I didn't write anything last night !!

I had hoped last night would get things back on track - but, I was wrong.  I've no real idea what is going wrong at the moment.... I know it's pain that is keeping me awake... but, it is not making much sense at the moment - why the pain is so bad & what have you !!  Never mind..... I'm going down to see my Dr on Monday morning, so I can maybe get some answers then !!  Usually, I have some clue as to what is going on - but, not this time !!

Never mind... life goes on....

Outside, it's pouring down with rain !!  The weather guy said we were in for a hot weekend.... but, I don't see it happening at the moment !!  Mind you - the forecast we get, on the national news, is always bias towards the London & South-East... forgetting about us lost souls here in the South-West !!

Oh well.... this Skynyrd Cd is really good.... as I don't have a complete Zeppelin concert for today... I'll give you the tracks on this album... they are:

  1) Last Of A Dyin' Breed
  2) One day At A Time
  3) Homegrown
  4) Ready To Fly
  5) Mississippi Blood
  6) Good Teacher
  7) Something To Live For
  8) Life's Twisted
  9) Nothing Comes Easy
10) Honey Hole
11) Start Livin' Life Again
12) Poor Man's Dream
13) Do It Upright
14) Skynyrd Nation
15) Gemme Three Steps

This is the "Fanpack" early release version... so, some of the tracks are bonus & might not be on any of the later releases, not sure about that.  Anyways - it's pretty good so far...... glad I got a copy !!

I made a comment, on another blog - about the band, a day or 2 back.... I didn't realise, at that time, I would be listening to the new album this week !!  Ain't live grand !!  The Cd came with a 131 page magazine - so, I'll be giving that a good read thru' later - Ok, I might only have one good eye now.... but, I can look at the pictures if nothing else !!

Ok... we had some great news yesterday.  One of the kindest ladies in the World is coming over, in November (I think) from America, with her Husband.  We can't wait to see you guys - so get here when you can & we can sit down & talk about the (nearly) 5 years, since we last met up !!  Yesterday - the 16th - was a special day for us & to read that someone, who played such a big part in that time, is coming back - well, it's brilliant.... we really can't wait to see you
both !!

There was a strange "co-incidence" on TV this morning.  I was watching the news, about Julian Assange being granted asylum & everything the UK Government is trying to do.... then I switched stations & there - on Star Trek Voyager - was the story about one of the Q wanting asylum !!  Really weird - life & fiction all coming together..... very strange !!  Oh well.... maybe I'm watching too much TV... or maybe the Government should realise what is going to happen, once JA reaches Sweden !!  Never mind.....

Yesterday, the 'phone call I thought was coming on Wednesday, actually happened !! B got me up in plenty of time & I spent 45 minutes talking a very nice lady....  If all goes well, I will be getting another person to see me, to follow up from Dr L.  I was quite "nervous" (wrong word) about seeing somebody else... but, the lady I spoke with yesterday, put my mind to rest on several things - so, I think it will all work out !!  I will no doubt write about it later......

Right... I think that's about it for now..... Just a quick mention of a Zeppelin concert, that happened on August 17th 1969.  I only have 2 tracks from it... but, they're pretty good.  They are:

1) The Train Kept A Rollin'
2) I Can't Quit You

The concert was in Wallingford, Connecticut USA & it's been - well, these 2 tracks - have been out for a number of years now..... more another time - but, as I always say, don't buy bootlegs !!

I must now be on my ways.... so, once again - I thank you all for reading... until next time..

Bye Bye
