CSN & Y... Ho-hum...

Hi again World's !!

 A greeting to you, my reader, over in the Ukraine... plus, the reader over in America !! I really hope your day is going well & that my writings do not bore you too much ?!

It's also a bit of a special moment - for this old blog of mine... I've reached the 16000 page views mark !! Heck - it's come a very long ways, since I started, back in 2010 !!

Back then, I didn't know if anybody was going to read my words.... now, well... 16000 !! Kind of weird to know, that some many people, from all around the World, have logged in & read my posts !! Great stuff - life is good !!

Ok - it's a Friday afternoon & we're sat here, B & myself, just having a quiet few moments, together - before My Wife & Dearest Friend, goes upstairs, to work on one of her craft projects.

I think she is making a bag, for the Daughter-in-Law, of one of our better neighbours !! I'll give B her due - she makes a really great bag...... I think she has done about 5 of them now - well good !!

Right - it's a Friday afternoon & I'm sat at the computer table, listening (again) to the Dream Theater live set... 'Breaking The Forth Wall'. I wrote about it, a few days back.... sooooo - check out the tracks from then.... it's still a great listen tho' - even if I do play it, over & over !!

I have spent, the biggest part of the day, so far, on sorting thru' the Cd's..... I still have a really long ways to go, but - for now at least - I am taking a break. My brain, what little there is of it, needed a break..... there are only so many times, that I can look at a Cd spine, to find out the various names & stuff !!

I think that I've done the biggest part of the Deep Purple, Neil Young, ELP & Rush collection.... I will probably find some more - as I go along.... but, that's the whole point of doing them - to try & sort them out & put them into, some kind of, order !!

I did find an old Cd - well, a few years old - by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young which I had been looking for... well, for a little while at least.... 'Deja Vu Live'. It says, on the Cd label, that it came out in 2008..... I didn't realise it was that old !! Anyhoo - the tracks are:

  1) What Are Their Names
  2) Living With war - Theme
  3) After The Garden
  4) Military Madness
  5) Let's Impeach The President
  6) Deja Vu
  7) Shock & Awe
  8) Families
  9) Wooden Ships
10) Looking For A Leader
11) For What It's Worth
12) Living With war
13) Roger & Out
14) Find The Cost Of Freedom
15) Teach Your Children
16) Living With war - Theme

For me, it's a really good 'live' set... I enjoyed Neil Young's 'Living With War' album & this takes over, from that Cd - giving some good versions of, the albums, various tracks.

But - if you really want to check something out... go for the DVD, which shows the band, doing their thing !! It's well worth your money, if you see it anywhere !! I enjoyed it... but, that's just me !!

I still rate their 3 Cd set 'CSNY 1974' as one of the best 'live' albums, that I have here in our collection. If you can afford it, go out & treat yourself.... Ok - I know, when it came out, it was £60 - but, for me, it's been worth it, as I play the Cd's over & over... either here, in the house, or on the iPod thingy, in the car.... it's really good !!

Tomorrow, there is a record fair, just up the road.... so, I will go along & meet up with some friends - maybe see what they've got new... well, new since I last saw them, 2 weeks ago !! I'm not really expecting to buy much... but, it's worth it, just to say "hello" to them !!

I want to see if they have any info, on the guy who was trying to sell me Zeppelin bootlegs, at the fair in Exeter. I had not come across him before - so, I would be interested in who he was & what have you. I am always a bit aware, when it comes to people, that I don't know, trying to off load Zeppelin stuff.

Anyhoo - that's not until tomorrow....

As for my plans, for the rest of the day... well, as it's getting late-ish, I'm just going to shut everything down & watch a bit of TV. There is very little on - but, the start of 'Andromeda' Season 5 is on tonight, so i want to catch up with that, if I can.

It's not much of a plan - but.... what the heck !! So, as always, I thank you for logging in & reading my words.... until next time..

Bye Bye
