Where Scot Makes A List....

*   For obvious reasons I didn't listen to this in it's entirety.
** This is the Live at Nassau version. Terrific stuff!

Happy there's some Miles and Mingus in there, would probably trade one of the Fairports for something more contemporary, which could be anything.

Been drinking Joan Collins and Bordello cocktails, fundraising in Brum, completed a short film for Worcs City Art Gallery, been to an Abba tribute in Newquay (more flailing limbs than an ailing prizefighter) and am bricking it re a forthcoming Caravaggio cover version I've got planned.

What else? Oh yes, I'm a recovering artist.
