Greetings World's !!
It's another Tuesday - and we've been into town, to do some shopping & stuff like that. It's bloody cold outside - I was frozen, just going around the supermarket !! Thankfully I managed to get the car warmed up really quickly, so that was a bonus !! I even had a hot drink when I came home - very un-usual for me !! Oh well....
Right - as I type, B (My Wife & Dearest Friend) is sat a few feet to my left, checking out how much Ian Gillan is worth (?!!) I will tell you why in a moment..... As for the rest of the family - ME is coming over later, to have supper with us. M is doing a work party, carting type of thing tonight.... so she is coming to spend some time with us !! As always - it will be great to see her again !!
Oh - before I forget... congrats to Tim Peake, for getting successfully get into space today !! Hopefully I've spelt his name right ?! Just remember Helen Sharman did it first for team GB, a goodly number of years ago !! Hopefully, I've spelt her name right as well.... but, she does seem to have been overlooked in all of the fun & games today !! She was watching the launch tho' - so the BBC did have her on there - darn right too !!
Ok - why Ian Gillan ?!
I ordered a live set, by Deep Purple - yesterday - and it came in the post this morning !! That was quick !! Anyhoo - I'm playing the DVD & B was surprised to see how old the band looked.... there is a good reason for that !! Ian Gillan (or so I'm told) is 70 this year & worth over £200 million. Lets put it this way - at 70 & worth that much, he doesn't need to perform on stage, for the cash, at least !!
As people know - if you've read my words before, I like listening to music, not so much watching a band play it, on a DVD or whatever....... with the possible of Lynyrd Skynyrd & Molly Hatchet... but, I put the DVD in & we're (kind of) listening/watching that, as I type. It's all good - lots of oldies & goodies, to keep me happy....
The Tracks are:
1) Highway Star
2) Into The Fire
3) Hard Loving Man
4) Vincent Price
5) Strange Kind Of Woman
6) Contact Lost
7) The Well Dressed Guitar
8) Hell To Pay
9) Lazy
10) Above & Beyond
11) No One Came
12) Don Airy's Keyboard Solo
13) Perfect Strangers
14) Spacetruckin'
15) Smoke On The Water
16) Green Onions/Hush
17) Black Night
Uli Jon Roth joins the band for 'Smoke On The Water' - as yet, I've not got that far.... should be good, a great guitarist, if ever there was one !! I can't believe it came so quick.... well down Mr Postman !!
I forgot - the Cd/DVD is called 'From The Setting Sun' and was recorded at Wacken in 2013 - now there's a place I would like to go to one day.... he says half joking !! Maybe one day - unlikely tho'....
Right - I must away.... things to do & stuff like that. We've sorted out 3 more boxes of stuff, from the spare room... and there are several more to go !! It's a shame J said to get rid of it - oh well.... it's his stuff & his choice. We could of stored it for him - but he decided otherwise... nevermind.....
I thank you all, for logging in & reading my words.... I hope you're all doing Ok & a big "Hello" to my Romanian reader - it's great to know you logged in & read my words.... until next time...
Bye Bye
