Whilst my wife is out doing the 'Couch Potato to 5k' (or 'Potato to 5k' as I call it) and the sun is streaming into the livingroom.  Something about 'Potato & Sun' must have made the connection...

Their hugely influential first album, from 1979, on first CD issue (1991). Playing on the study system as the main one's out of action . I saw them (or rather, This Is Not This Heat) at the Barbican and they were superb:

The first album I ever heard played on a 'proper' hi-fi (thx dp). If my system is on song then I should get transported right back to that goosebump moment.

It is.

Nice to see you back on the forum Jeff as I noticed you hadn't posted in awhile. Will have to investigate Lloyd Jones as he isn't a name I'm familiar with.

YYNOT, Kingdom Come.  Discovered these on Bandcamp, they are a Rush tribute band but this is an original composition that whilst clearly influenced by Rush is all their own,  Really good track and well worth checking out.

Larry Coryell - acoustic guitars

A lovely album that seems to get better every time I listen to it.

Hi Ewen, have spent a few days in the hospital with pneumonia and a rather ridiculous antibiotic of which I have had about 8 side effects.  Finally off that Friday and on a slow road to recovery.  Thank you for the interest and hope you and the good lady are fine.  best regards, Jeff A (and Heidi)
