Peter Green & Deep Purple. 'Hold On' !!

Greetings Worlds !!

I'm back again !!  After a few days feeling like death warmed up, I have decided it's time to start posting again.  Ok - I know I wasn't away for very long, but.... as I usually write every day - having a couple days off, seems like a long time to me !!

As for what went wrong this time.... I don't really know.  The Dr called on Friday & said I had caught some kind of infection & was giving me some more pills to take.... and that's about it really !!  I spent the biggest part of the weekend, either in bed or very close to it.... never mind, life goes on !!

Hopefully the pills are starting to work now.... I am feeling a lot better, but still little poorly.  But - I'll keep flapping my arms & head on until the next bug gets it's grip on me.  Ho-hum !!

At the moment - I'm home alone !!  ME is at work, J has taken Murphy for a walk & B has gone into town. As it's been a long, holiday weekend, we've sort of run out of food & stuff - so, she is heading into the bank, then over to the gym..... followed by a trip into a supermarket.  She will be home in a few hours I guess - not sure when, exactly !!

As I'm on my own - the music is turned down to deafening....... at the moment, I'm playing an old Peter Green concert.  It was recorded in Amsterdam, in 2009..... it's not too bad a recording really.  I don't think I've ever played it before !!  Oh well......

I have a Zeppelin concert, from August 28th 1970.  It was recorded in Detroit & I would say it has to be one of the worse bootlegs I have in my collection !!  It's only part of a show, but the tracks are:

1) Introduction
2) Immigrant Song
3) Heartbreaker
4) Dazed & Confused
5) Bring It On Home
5) That's The Way

That's all there is folks.... if there is a case of "don't buy bootlegs" - well, this Cd would be the best reason for it !!  It's a really bad recording !!  Oh well... more another time... but, as always - don't buy bootlegs !!  Buy the official stuff instead !!

Because I was sick, over the weekend - we missed Church on Sunday..... I don't actually remember much about Sunday, I was well out of it !!  ME had the day off, so she wanted to go shopping & B went with her, for the ride.  I don't think they bought very much.... but, it was just a "girls ride out" type of thing !!

J has been away.... he got home last night & seems to have had a good time.  It's good that he goes away now & again - rather than staying in his Hobbit Hole !!  We fetched him from the train station, about 7ish last night.... there were no buses running at that time of night, so..... we couldn't make him walk home !!

Just changed the music - I'm now playing Deep Purple's 'Burn' & 'Stormbringer' albums on shuffle.  I bought the 2 Cd's on one disc... so, I can put it in & let it shuffle it's way thru' the tracks !!  Not too bad a listen !!

Just going back to Church..... we have to decide if we want to go to Temple.  For people who know what I'm talking about, that might seem like a thing to even have to think about !!  But - after 5 years of being in the Church, well - our Bishop has asked us if we would like to consider going.

In theory, we should of been allowed to go after the first year..... but, we weren't !!  So - now, we have to think about it & decide if - after all this time - we want to make that jump to the next level !!  I wish we could of gone earlier - when I was a lot healthier !!  Now - I really am in a a bit of a quandary about the whole thing.

Sister T.... if you're reading this.... I sure could use your input !! Onwards.... B & I will have to work this thru' in our heads & see what we think afterwards.  I'm sure The Lord will guide us..... onwards....

The Deep Purple Cd has just reached 'Hold On'..... I really love this track !!  Back in 1976 - many moons ago - I put this track on a pack of 3 mix tapes I did..... and I've always remembered it for that reason !!  It's not - by far - one of their best tracks..... but.... for me, it has a fond memory !!

Talking of "mix tapes" - 25 years ago, this very day, I recorded Colosseum's 'Lost Angeles' onto another tape..... yikes... it's scary the stuff I remember !!  Mind you - it helps that - in 1987 - I made a list of what I was recording, at that time !!  Oh well.......  It was a musical diary & if you look thru' my old posts, you can read what I meant !!

The sad news of the weekend... well, there was a bunch of people killed in an accident, on a loch, up in Scotland.... young kids & adults.  But - for people like me.... well, it was the death of Neil Armstrong that has grabbed the headlines.

Yep - I was one of those people who, as a youngster, stayed up all night, to watch the pictures of two blurs bouncing around on the Moon !!

I've talked over, this whole thing, with J before now..... I hope I can live long enough, to see them go back to the Moon.  Not sooooo much, that I want to see 'man' go back there - but, mainly from the aspect of what type of craft they would use, to make the trip !!  That would interest me.....

.... like going to Mars.  Great, 'man' has gone to Mars... but, how will they get there & what sort of landing craft will they use ?!  I don't think I will be here for that journey - but.... it would interest me.

Oh well.... I better be on my ways..... I forgot to get B to put my eye drops in this morning & now... well, the screen is definitely looking really weird !!  So - I will go.... I thank you all for logging in.... from America, thru' the UK & Europe & over to Russia - I thank you for your time.... until next time..

Bye Bye
