Quiet Tuesday

Having a trawl of you tube tonight to see if there is something interesting to post of Facebook, quite interesting to find out how wide one's taste can be!

Started with The Blue Nile - Tinseltown in the Rain, a fantastic song by the Glasgow band, then a bit of Donald Fagen, he of Steely Dan fame and ended up at this moment listening to the Jaques Louisser Trio playing Tocatta and Fugue in D minor! a great evening's listening!


I had the pleasure of seeing Jaques in Edinburgh a couple of years ago, what a treat to sit and hear 3 virtuosi give an evening of stunning music! in fact it was he that finally persuaded me to try some classical music which up to the mystified me as to why anyone got so enthused about music that didn't have a beat as such!

Cold Cold Heart

By Heck its cold in east Lothian! all i seem to do is dig snow most of the time or try to control 2 young boys who have got a dose of cabin fever mixed in with santa fever at the same time - not Rock & Roll!

However, gigs for Xmas are done and im glad, too old to be sliding about on snowy icy roads at 2 in the morning in a car full of amps and guitars, trying to get home - roll on January and the start of a Rock & Roll new year (Hopefully minus the snow!)
