Transatlantic & other love songs... Ho-hum

Hi again World's !!

I really hope your bit of the Universe is treating you well, this fine Good Friday morning ?! I've been away from the keyboard, for a couple of days - since Tuesday - and things have been a bit painful, to say the least !!

First tho' - our thoughts & prayers, go out to all of those, who were injure & killed, in the Belgium bomb blasts !! I understand, that 3 of the injured were members of our Church - 3 Missionaries - so, we hope you're all doing a little better this morning. I can't imagine how & what you've been thru' but our prayers are will all of you.

As for those bastards who blew themselves up !! I hope the rivers were sour & the virgins had been had, long before you got anywhere near to that Utopia, or wherever, you hoped to get to, as martyrs !!

I read someplace.....

"Do not let your hatred of other people, to prompt you to act unfairly against others, be fair to all" or something like that... mind you, it was late at night & I was kind of stoned !! More on that later...

First... the family !!

As I type, B is upstairs, using the time to do a bit of house work. I've not been too well, this past couple of days... so, she has put off doing the bedroom, until I felt well enough, to get out of bed. I must point out, I've not been in bed, all of the last 3 days.... just the biggest part of them.

As for the M & M's.... well, we've seen a bit of ME... while M has been at work + of course, the beautiful HJ !!

Yesterday, the ladies went on a trip, to visit B's Auntie & Dad and to take HJ on a quick tour of the family !! All who saw her, instantly fell in love with our Grand Daughter - which is the norm, after all - what's not to love ?! She truly is one of God's beautiful people !!

While they were away, I spent the time listening to & transferring DVD soundtracks, over to Cd - ready for putting onto my iPod thingy..... also known as the Mini Egg !!

I'm listening to one of the transfers now.... Transatlantic's Cologne concert, from March 9th 2014 - it came our much better than I thought, given how poorly I was, at the time !!

Anyhoo... the tracks are:

CD 1

1) Into The Blue
2) My New World
3) Shine

CD 2

1) The Whirlwind Medley
2) Beyond The Sun
3) Kaleidoscope

CD 3

1) Neal & Ronnie Duet
2) We All Need Some Light
3) Black As The Sky
4) Medley - All Of The Above/Stranger In Your Soul

These transfers are for my own use - I don't want to get into the whole giving them away - or worse still, the selling of the copies !! I do these things for myself & that's about it really !!

Heck - I didn't realise, that the DVD's were different, from the concert on the Cd's !! I just thought, that the DVD was a copy of the Cd and that was it..... as it turns out, I now have a different concert to listen to, in the car, or the hospital.

It all started, because I bought the bands 'More Is Never Enough' 5 disc set. That contains, 2 concerts, from Manchester & Tilburg...... which set me thinking about the 'Kaliveoscope'  4 disc set. Sooooo - I've added 2 extra concerts, to the Cd collection !! Great stuff....

I'm still trying to make a complete list, of all of the Cd's !! I've done quite a few, but I still have several shelves to get thru'.... about 7 or 8 - I guess. Since coming home, from the hospital, this last time, I've found it hard, to concentrate  on the things........ too much pain & too few brain cells, to deal with it all !!

At least they're not too mixed up, I know which ones I've listed.... it's just a case of sorting out the rest & getting them all down, on the computer !! Oh well....

At the top of this post, I said "more on that later" - or something along those lines. Well - writing it, reminded me, of one of the nights, that I walked down to the hospital Chapel, during my last stay.

Each night, I would leave the ward & just spend a few minutes or more, in the Chapel, to get my thoughts together. It was one place, that I could go to, away from the hustle & bustle of the ward - somewhere quiet.

I've probably written this before, but...... one night, an Anglican Priest, who was in my ward, asked if I minded him joining me. So - I want you to try & picture this, if you can.

I'm there, sat quietly in the Muslim corner (the quietest place) of the Chapel & he is sat in the main area..... wearing a hospital gown. In other words - you had a Mormon, sat next to all of the Prayer Mats and another Priest, wearing a "dress", sat a few yards away from me.

This all happened about 9 or 10 at night.... honestly, it's no wonder we didn't spark some kind of security alert !! We must of looked quite a right pair of idiots !! Nevermind.... life has moved on...

Next week, I'm not sure which day, I have to go back to the hospital, to see my Consultant. It will be a bit easier - as I'm meeting up with him, in the towns new-ish hospital. It's not much closer, distance wise, but it's will be easier, as far as parking goes & everything !!

I'll be interested in his views, concerning how my back is healing up - or not healing up, depending how you look at it !! I know it's getting better, but it's still not right. I'll have to wait & see, just what his thoughts are on the subject !!

I have to go to the same hospital, tomorrow, for a change of dressings. Because of the Easter holidays, my local nurses are on a 4 day break, sooooo - I'm booked into the hospital, so that one of the nurses there, can do the deed !! It will be interesting, how they do it all, if they do things differently or anything like that. Time will tell on that subject, I guess......

Right, I better be on my ways....

I'm now onto the 2nd Transatlantic concert, from Tilburg. It was recorded on May 20th 2010 & the tracks are:

CD 1

1) The Whirlwind

CD 2

1) All Of The Above
2) We All Need Some Light
3) Duel With The Devil
4) Bridge Across Forever

CD 3

1) Stranger In Your Soul
2) Return Of The Giant Hogweed

So far, concerning how drugged up, I was yesterday, things have come out really, really well - a great bit of listening !!

Right, I must go.... I thank you for taking the time, to log in & read my words. It's always good to know, that you're out there....... until next time...

Bye Bye
