Early 'phone calls & Jefferson Airplane !!

Greetings World's !!

I hope your bit of the Universe is treating you well - it's bloody cold, here in the South-West corner of England.... not that cold, but too cold for my liking !! As if to prove my point - all of the cats are in, at the moment. Two are up on the beds & one is up on the landing... which leaves young Archie, here behind me, in the kitchen - filling his face !!

Over the last couple of months - the "tabby's" in particular - have come around to accepting Archie.... the old one, Smudge - well, he had very little choice in the matter !! Archie decided, from day one, that baiting the hairy black thing (AKA Smudge) was going to be fun.... and so, it all went from there really.

Mind you - with the weather turning colder, I think the "tabby's" decided "What the f**k" and decided they could do better, inside... where it's warm.... and just gave up worrying about the "newby" !! Mind you - they are more than capable of knocking Archie clean off of his feet, if they wanted to..... so.....

Anyways - enough of the cats.... The Family !!

Well, it's just B & myself home today. ME has gone into town, to meet up with M & she will be back a bit later...... she isn't working tonight, so... she can have a bit of a break !! With J up in West Wales - that's about it, for the family !!

Tho' - I was thinking, earlier, about my ex-Brother-in-law (my Sister's first husband)...... The reason for this mad bit of recollection ? Well - I was playing some old live stuff, by Cream.... and I remembered when they broke up, first time around - how he couldn't understand, why there was sooooo much fuss being made about it. There were news reports & - eventually - a documentary, on the BBC.... with bits of their "Farewell Cream" show, at the Royal Albert Hall, in London.

He could get his head around the fact that, despite not being on Top of the Pops, or forever on Radio One.... why they were so popular !! Well - I've no idea where my ex-Brother-in-law is now (even if he is still alive).... but, the fact that people like me, are still playing their music, all these years later, goes to show, what the fuss really was about !!

I was actually doing the dishes, on my purpose built chair - honestly - and listening to Cream's two live albums - that came out, way back when.... I was using the Mini Egg - so, I can't remember what year they really came out, but the tracks are:

'Live Cream - Vol. 1'

1) N.S.U.
2) Sleepy Time Time
3) Sweet Wine
4) Rollin' & Tumblin'
5) Lawdy Mama (Studio)

'Live Cream - Vol. 2'

1) Deserted Cities Of The Heart
2) White Room
3) Politician
4) Tales Of Brave Ulysses
5) Sunshine Of Your Love
6) Steppin' Out

As I say - I can't really remember, when these albums came out... but, I enjoyed listening to them again today - made doing the dishes actually enjoyable !! As for the music of the moment...

... well, I'm playing Jefferson Airplane's set, from the Monterey pop Cd's, that I got a few weeks back. I don't think it's complete, but... it's all good !! Hopefully, early next week - I'll have the stuff that is in the post to me..... more of that, when they get here !!

Ok - that's about it, for today at least....... I've done next to nothing today really..... oh, I forgot !!

I mentioned our neighbour (P) and how B has been helping look after his dog, Murphy..... well, this morning, before 8.30, the phone rang.... as we were still in bed, I didn't go out of my way to rush to answer it !! When I eventually did get around to picking up the message, it was P - asking us to let Murphy out, at some point, this morning !! Come on - that's taking the piss - if you've got a dog, work out what you're going to do with it - don't go 'phoning your neighbours up, at that time of the morning, to sort the poor mutt
out !! Honestly - I was not a happy person, when I finally heard the message...... give me a break P !!

Oh well - I must away.... thanks for logging in.... until next time...

Bye Bye
