#NowPlaying My third listen of the day to the new #HenryThreadgill album (on CD) Even by his standards, an interesting lineup: 4 acoustic guitars, 2 acoustic bass guitars, 2 pianos. Sublime. Will we ever get to hear him on alto or flute again, I wonder?

30 years to the day since I last saw the incomparable Meredith Monk, and I'm lucky enough to live within travelling distance of Cardiff, her only UK date on a rare visit to Europe, in two days time.

Hey @rolandbates.bsky.social ... I have been doing some sorting out, mainly from my "London years" (mid 1991 to mid 2007.) Does this ring a bell?

Today I will mainly be listening to these wonderful @rockingbob.bsky.social compilations. I've long kicked myself for not getting the first Tea & Symphony volume, but, as Bob says, "it hardly made it into the shops"

@greavesian.bsky.social Carried your book the length of the Malvern Hills yesterday. Here we are on Midsummer Hill... no vertigo involved! Much drier up there than when the finale was shot.

Just finished The Life of 'Brian'. Thanks to @stebenson.bsky.social for the recommendation, and he also sent me a great summary by @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social One of those books that will resonate for some time.
