'Sunshine' & 'Restoration' Ho-hum !!

Greetings World's !!

It's a very warm & humid Saturday, here in England's South-West corner...... I'm not sure if it's that hot - but, we've been working hard, today, trying to make the best of a bad job, in what is now, the spare room. Honestly - where half of the stuff there, came from, I've no idea !!

Anyways - we've had enough for today & as I type, My Wife & Dearest Friend - B - is sat over to my left, below the open window, doing a bit of knitting or whatever it's called. It's going to be an over blanket, for our bed...... so, I guess it's crochet rather than knitting ?!

She did one, for the M & M's.... so, I asked if we could have one. The difference is in the colour - their's was mostly light purple.... ours is mostly blues, in one shade or another. It's nearly finished.... looks good !!

As mentioned above - we've been upstairs, trying to tidy everything up.... one heck of a job, even taking it in stages !! I did manage to get rid of one bookcase.... unfortunately, the 600+ cassette tapes, that were on it, are now living on the bed !! My plan is... at some point... is to put them, bit by bit, into the chest of drawers, that lives in the room.

I'm not sure, just how many tapes it will hold.... but, it's all good - it will work out in the end - I hope !! It's either put them, in the drawers, or stick them on the shelves, that are in various stages of creation.

Believe it or not - the 2 places, in town, that I'm buying the parts from, to put the shelves together, are both closing in the next couple of months !! That leaves me with next to no time, to get everything.

Given the cost, of the materials, I can only buy so much, at one time.... so, hopefully, I'll have it all, before they both shut for good. So much for the Government's claims, that things are getting better !!

Oh well - if all goes well... I'll have a bit of room, to store a bundle of Cd's. It'll depend on how many shelves I put up, I guess...... as with a lot of things I do - time will tell !! Unfortunately, the drawers are too shallow, to house the Cd's, in a ways that will be of any use. Nevermind..... life is good.

Right, it's been a couple of days, since I last put finger to keyboard - and, musically, it's been a great few days for Cd's & stuff !! To explain.... well, to try & explain.....

I asked ME to buy me an album, from a place in Germany, that was for sale on 'e-Bay' - or whatever it's called. Anyhoo - a couple of days later (Thursday) we went over to the M & M's and the Lp was waiting for me !! I couldn't believe how quick it came.... well good !!

For the whole story, go back a few days & read that post.... but, long story made short..... the album is called 'Sunshine' & is from the 'TV Movie' of the same name. Today, it would be called a "chick flick" (not a nice name).... but, apart from all of that, I have always liked the music, that went along with it !!

Sooooo - after many Moons, I finally have a copy of the album.... given it's age, it's in really great condition - really, really great condition !! I won't bother you, with all of the tracks.... but, you can check them out on the 'net.

Add to the above.... I also had a copy of an album, by the Allman's. My thanks to a friend for that one - I wasn't expecting to get a copy for a while yet, sooooo it was a nice surprise, to have it waiting for me, yesterday !!

The album's called 'Restoration' and is from their October 31st 1986 concert at the MSG's in New York.... the tracks are:

1) Midnight Rider
2) Blue Sky
3) One Way Out
4) Statesboro Blues
5) Southbound
6) Jessica
7) Good Lovin'
8) Key To The Highway

There are a couple of guests playing along... Paul Butterfield, Carlos Santana etc etc... and it's really a great concert recording. I'm not sure how legit it is, but ?! Try & check it out, I think you'll enjoy it !!

Right - I must go...... I am a bit knackered & I need to chill-ax for while !! I was going to have a little go (again) at the spare room, but... I can't be bothered. I've had enough for today !!

As always, I thank you for logging in & reading my words... it's good to know you're "out there"...until next time...

Bye Bye
