There but for fortune (Joan Baez)



Wie geht's? 

Another update post:
  • Still quiet at Maple Grove, rodent wise.  
  • Bleak House - up to page 110.
  • Autumn - four weeks in and still having 20 plus degree days and around 10 degree nights, so the mild changes continue. Getting darker in the mornings though, and this weekend's forecast has Jacky engaged in crazy talk about needing our first fire of the season.
  • Walks continue around the Mitre 10 Sports park during my working week.
  • The records* I ordered last Tuesday from Real Groovy arrived after I contacted them. Human error apparently. To be fair they quickly got a wriggle on and I got them yesterday. 
  • The Gentlemen - we're up to episode 4 (of 8), but Jacky suddenly isn't fussed - too weird she says. So, I've been catching up on the 2023 Formula One season (Drive To Survive).
  • WTWMC True Colours playlist on Spotify has finished investigating songs with brown in the title. Greg is up with the next colour - he's teasing us again and making us wait until Friday! 
  • Arsenal F.C. not playing because of the international break.  
Consider yourself up to date on Planet Wozza.


Love and peace - WNP

* I'll add this down here because Noel Forth is probably one of the few people in the universe who will get this: the records in question included an album by Stairsteps (Second Resurrection) on Dark Horse Records. It's a new copy as I've failed to ever find a second hand one. Also in the package was Andy Pratt's Resolution album on Nemperor Records.

Along with Apple Records, Dark Horse Records, Ring 'O' Records, I also collect albums put out on Nemperor Records because of the Beatle connection.

The Beatle connection? Nemperor was set up by Brian Epstein and his American associates Nat Weiss and Shaun Weiss in 1966. It was active as a record label from 1974 to 1986. There were some cool people on the label - Stanley Clarke, Jerry Goodman, Lenny White, Jan Hammer, and others (including Andy Pratt).
