'Echoes' and some lost Cd's.. Ho-hum

Hi World's !!

I've had a series of e-mails this past week, from a friend who lives down in the wilds of Devon...... concerning some Cd's that I seemed to have sent him, some time in the past. No big deal about that - I'm often sending people old Cd's..... especially ones I no longer want !!

Anyways - it seems that my friend can no longer find the Cd's & is trying to remember what it was, actually on the things..... and, because of that, he has been asking for my help - to try & identify them !!

So - here I am.... having had not the best year...... and here is my friend, trying to task my brain & complete lack of memory, in order to work out what he is missing !! How the heck am I suppose to know what I sent him ?! I've sent out dozens of discs, over the last few years - I can't remember what I sent him... I really can't !!

As I e-mailed him a while ago.... it's a bit like the old Monty Python saying "My brain hurts" !! Oh well - he'll have to try and sort it out himself..... I can't really do anything, from this end of the Universe !! I suspect, deep down, he has given the Cd's to someone else - or worse still, sold them to someone else - and he's hoping I'll be able to replace them !! No way my friend........ time will tell, I guess !!

Right - enough of my moaning... well, for now at least !! The family !!

As I type, ME is in bed, trying to get a bit of sleep, ahead of a night shift, this evening. I've got the music down a snotch or two - in order to try & not wake her up..... hopefully !! Mind you - the NFH has still got the builders, next door & they are not exactly the quietest people on the planet !!

As for My Wife & Dearest Friend.. well, she has gone into town, to meet up with some friend, or another. I really don't remember who it is..... I had forgotten she was even going out....... until she reminded me !! Never mind - my life goes on.... even if I am "home alone" for want of a better word or two !!

To be fair - B did offer to stay home... as I've not been in the best of health, these past few days.... but, it seems a shame to cancel a meeting, especially as she was all ready to go !! I don't mind - I'm quite happy sat here.... typing these words !!

As for the 4th member of the family... our Son, J... well, he seems to be doing Ok - B spoke with him a couple of days ago & he is in good spirits - well, as far as I know !! It seems that life at Uni is agreeing with him.....

As for me... well, I did a bit of a tidy up, before writing these words. The kitchen needed a quick make over - just last nights dishes + I just had a little go around here, in our living room. Nothing too exciting - just a little move around & vacuum !! Oh well..... B will no doubt do some more to it, when she gets home later !!

I was thinking about doing some of the Cd's - just the few hundred that are behind me.... but, after a quick start, I decided to give up on that little plan & write these words instead !! Once again - I've not had the best of nights, sleep wise - so, sitting, listening to music & typing these words, seemed like a brilliant idea !!

As for the music of the moment - I'm listening to part of David Gilmour's 'Royal Albert Hall' concert, from May 2006 (I think)....... I'm playing the second half of the show.... mainly as I wasn't a great fan of his 'On An Island' Cd & that takes up the biggest part of Cd 1 !! Oh well..... at this very moment, 'Echoes' is just starting..... so, that will keep me going for 20 minutes or so !!

Hopefully, in the next few days - or weeks - I will have some more Gov't Mule live stuff... along with a solo set by Warren Haynes !! The latter is an acoustic show he did, a while back... so, I'm looking forward to giving that a play !! Plus - as I've no doubt mentioned many times before - the re-issue of Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' Cd should reach me soon.... I really want to hear the first part of the live stuff, that is on Cd 2 !!

It was recorded in 1974 - nearly 40 years ago - shit.... I really am getting too old for this crap !! Nevermind - it's all good & despite having had the complete show, on bootleg, for many, many years now - it's always great to get the official versions of the stuff !!

As I always tell you guys - don't buy bootlegs... buy the official stuff instead !! Support the bands as much as you can..... I know they say "we don't do it for the money" kind of stuff, but - unless you buy the official Cd's....... well - they have to eat !! Ok - enough of my preaching....

On the wall, out to the front of our house, B has left one of my "yellow" waste bins. It's the sort of thing, that you see in the hospitals - I've used it, to get rid of my dressings & the such like. Anyhoo - it's outside... waiting for collection & the NFH + her builders are really fascinated by it !! They keep trying to open it & take a look inside - the little buggers !!

She'll be asking B why we're leaving "Medical Waste" outside..... oh well, if they haven't anything better to do, than look at my old waste dressings... it's a sad life !! Onwards - ever onwards...

Ok - my plans for today.... well, none at all really !! I was going to do these Cd's - but, as I said before - I can't be bothered !! They are not going anywhere & it's the sort of thing I can do, later, when B & I are here together.

So - with that to look forward to, I will be on my ways - I thank you all for logging in & reading my words, it's brilliant to know that sooooo many of you are taking the time to do that... until next time...

Bye Bye
