Nightwish 2012 + Roger Waters Ho-hum !!

Greetings !!

How is your little bit of the Universe treating you, this fine November day ?! Tho' - thinking about it - depending where you live - this might not be November, at all !! Just imagine - if someone actually reads this, from some "other place"... well... I'm going a little off track
here !!

Anyhoo... "hello" to my Russian reader, who logged in a short while ago - it's great to know you are there !! At some point, let me know what you are listening to..... I'm always interested in other people's music taste !!

At the moment, I'm playing an old Roger Water's concert... I can't remember the exact date of the thing, but.... I sat by my old radio, back in 1986, listening to it.... feeling very tired !! It was a Friday - April 25th (I believe) and I had had a really shit week !! But - knowing this was actually coming on the radio, late, I managed to stay awake, just long enough to make a tape of it !!

The tracks are:

1) Welcome To The Machine
2) Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
3) Money
4) Wish You Were Here
5) Have A Cigar
6) Another Brick In The Wall
7) Brain Damage/Eclipse

I've just looked up the date & it - the concert - was recorded on March 28th 1985...... over a year before I actually made the tape !! I will always remember listening to it, back in 1986 & how tired I was that night.... oh well !!

It's been a fantastic week, for music... I've had sooooo much new stuff reach me - so, to all of you, around the World, I thank you for your time & gifts !! I'll get around to listening to everything over the coming weeks...... I can't get over the Dream Theater box set + the the Pink Floyd 'Wish You Were Here' re-mastered Cd..... "Wow" !!

Plus, to everything I've already written about, I've had some more Emerson, Lake & Palmer Cd's and some Jimi Hendrix live recordings - which, as yet, I've not got around to even opening !! There is so, so very much going on, I can't keep up with everything that has arrived !! Again - I thank you !!

Enough about music... "The Family" !!

As I type, B is upstairs in J's old room... which she is using as a bit of a space, to do her crafts & stuff - she is busy making Christmas cards, something she always leaves to the last minute !! As for ME - well, she has gone to her new place of work, today... some sort of "induction" training day. I think she starts there, full time, in a week or two !! Which just leaves J - who might still hate my guts... I don't know (it's up to him).... but, he is still over in Wales, at Uni....... so, that's the family !!

It's been a funny sort of week.... I felt like crap, on Monday... when I had to go down to the hospital, in Exeter - and today, after feeling a bit rough, this morning.... well, now (3.20 pm) I feel "Ok" !! A very strange week, health wise !!*

A short while ago, I had to go down to my local surgery - to have my dressings changed.... from what the nurse said, the wound is healing up really nicely !! I'm not 100% sure, why I need another surgery.... especially with a skin graft..... if it's getting better ?! It's taken a while - but, I'll have to wait & see how things go !!

I'm just glad things are getting along.... it's been a very long 6 months, in more ways than one !! Thank's J - for kicking it off with a great start..... oh well, moving on !!

I've just spoken to my Consultant's secretary - about seeing the guy. I completely messed up !! I got the appointment date all wrong & B has had to 'phone back & double check what was happening - I tell you, I can't sort bugger all out these days, with-out completely getting it wrong !!

Back to music - I'm trying to sort Cd's, into cases.... which is a never ending job..... but, it's brilliant in a way, because I'm finding stuff, that - basically - I had forgotten about !! For example - a lovely bit of a Nightwish concert, from last year !! I don't remember much about it - but, I'm listening to it now... well good !!

So - that's the music of the moment.... Hopefully, maybe tomorrow, I'll have some new things reach me, in the post !! I'm expecting the latest Rush 3 Cd live set + the soundtrack recording from season one of the 'Vikings' TV show..... I loved watching the DVD's.... and hopefully the s/t will be here soon !! Oh - also, the soundtrack of 'Blade Runner' will be here soon as well.... that's a 3 Cd set, as well.

I've been playing all of the 5 DVD's of 'Blade Runner' - from a fantastic box set - and the music has really got a "hook" into me !! I hope that will arrive next week, at some point - it's all great stuff !! As I've said, many times before - too much music & too few brain cells to listen to it all with !!

Right - I must be on my ways... things to do & everything !! I thank you, as always, for taking the time to read my words & logging in....... until next time...


Bye Bye
