Eric Burdon... great stuff !!

Well "Hello" World's !!

I've just realized, it's been 3 days - since I last put finger, to keypad !! That's kind of tardy, on my part.... so, I'm sorry for the delay !! I have no real excuse, for not writing anything.... just been a little poorly & - to be very honest - I've not felt like sitting at the keyboard, let alone writing stuff down !!

Anyhoo - today is a Tuesday.... I've not been outside, as yet - but, we did have a little bit of snow & that's still on the pavements. It's not much - just enough, to let you know it's there. If B hadn't told me, about it - I wouldn't of noticed !! Oh well....

Talking of my Wife & Dearest Friend...... she is upstairs, doing a small bit of housework. Just before I sat down, I did the few dishes, that needed washing & she did the bit of housework, here in our living room. Now, we've moved around a bit - she is upstairs & I'm here !!

I've been trying to think, why I didn't write anything - yesterday - and, for the life of me, I can't remember exactly where we went, or what we did !! That's a lie...

We did go, into town & picked up some craft stuff, that B wanted, before going into the supermarket. Being a Monday, we needed a few odds & ends.... milk & stuff. I always like Mondays - a few of the shops, have new Cd's, on their shelves. Unfortunately - unless you like 'X Factor' or boy bands, there was next to nothing, that I was interested in !!

However, I did pick up 6 Cd's.... mostly stuff by Eric Burdon..... 4 Cd's + 2 Cd's by Cream. The latter 2, are 'Fresh Cream' & 'Disraeli Gears'. I had both of them, on Lp - so, now I have them on Cd.... it all adds to the collection !!

Ok - sooooo, I went a little over the top, by getting 4 Cd's.... but, they're all pretty good & contain some great tracks !! Just picking one - 'Inside Looking Out' - has been covered, over the years.... most noticeably by Grand Funk Railroad !! Like I say - great tracks & - besides - it's good to hear Mr Burdon, at his best !!

If you get a chance - check him out.... you will not be too disappointed..... moving on....

In a very short while - I'm expecting a 'phone call, from our Dr..... so, I best close this down & get ready, to speak to him. As I said, above.. I've been feeling poorly & his call might, just might, lead to some kind of result !! I won't hold my breath - but, you never know !!

So - for today - I will be on my ways & thank you, for your time & for reading my words.... until next time..

Bye Bye
