Matchbox Twenty - Yourself or Someone Like You.
Might get to play some music later! What a day, been rodding the drains, swear I’ll never be able to look at a bowl of weetabix ever again! Spent hours trying to install an Apple TV, pile of crap!
Internets f*cked up and then washing machine blew up!
Keep wandering through the lounge to an empty rotating platter…grrrrrrrr! What a fekkin day!
Did you fall into the drain? Looks as though you’ve had an adverse reaction to water
Personally I have never cared what other people thought of my musical taste. I like what I like.
Debs, thought I wouldn’t mention the fact that it would have been his 71st Birthday today, when I posted the movie info as I thought you would be referencing it today. The documentary looks very interesting - will try to get to see it in the next week or so. Meantime in celebration of the man and his great music I will give this a spin…

Next up…Mary Chapin Carpenter - Time * Sex * Love
Admittedly not her best, but sometimes it is nice to withdraw from active listening and have something nice tinkling in the background - no offence Mary!
Apple TV box smashed to bits with a hammer, now in the bin! Finally got my tinternet back on, washing machine “engineer” booked, Southern Water sorted the blockage so I’ve finally been able to have a shower and long overdue tom tit!
Now where was I?..Oh yes…
Clark Terry Quintet - Serenade To A Bus Seat (Keepnews Collection Tidal)
1957 Riverside recording, the year prior to In Orbit which I just about listened to earlier. Clark Terry still on Trumpet here with another superb line up of Johnny Griffin, Wyn Kelly, Paul Chambers & Philly Joe Jones
And exhale…aaaaaaah
Mary Black - No Frontiers
Still in ‘let the music wash over me’ mode, and this is doing a fine job of that.
