BBC Radio 4 FM. First episode in the 67th (I think) series of "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue", the funniest thing on radio since 1972:

I thought I'd join you and listen to this through the listen again facility provided by the BBC, but this is another example of a programme which can be replayed on-line through the BBC website, but can't be found on iRadio through the NDS.

Recorded in 1998, joining my archeological department with the latest acquisitions of Gould and Edwin Fischer discs. Apparently the past is more appealing to me than the present regardless to the sound quality advantage of the fresher releases.

Despite the richer sound of the piano performing the Handel suites (Jarrett, Smirnova and Schirmer) it is Yates harpsichord which bridges better the gap between now and 1773, the year Handel published these works in England.

It is interesting that they picked the Michigan Avenue (the busiest street downtown Chicago) bridge as a cover for Roadsongs cover. The most prominent musical sounds on this avenue are constant sirens (fire trucks and police) and car horns.

LZ "Houses of The Holy" Super Deluxe. I have to say that I think I am enjoying this album more than ever before. Although I initially thought the tracks on the "Companion Audio" disc were rather disappointing, I'm really getting into them. The choice of songs (none of hem bootlegged before AFAIK) really adds to the "main" album.

Seriously though, I am joining you this morning with Handel and Sophie Yates too while I cool down from a snow shovelling exercise this morning.

My only Plowright before changing the guards with Doug (on my way out to the yard).

And this is for Kuma:

"Plowright imaginatively guides us through this wide-ranging repertoire, shifting gear from one piece to the next with little apparent difficulty. A delightful disc with refined pianism."
