Picking on a Fretless Bass

A depressing morning. Here I am, brain the size of a small planet, a PhD scientist, stuck in a tedious job in Central London for a failing company, and facing the same old commute for no good reason other than being seen to show up.

Folk and guitarists to cheer me up and mellow my mood:

Someone - James Taylor
Woh, Don't You Know - James Taylor
Fanfare - James Taylor
Chili Dog - James Taylor
Instrumental II - James Taylor
Hymn - James Taylor
New Tune - James Taylor
Jig - James Taylor
Nobody But You - James Taylor
One Morning in May - James Taylor
Dance - James Taylor
Love Song (Bonus Track - Take 1) - Syd Barrett
Octopus - Syd Barrett
Guinnevere - Crosby, Stills & Nash (And Young)
The Sky Is Crying - John Martyn
Smiling Stranger (Instrumental) - John Martyn
Rolling Home - John Martyn
Ways To Cry - John Martyn
Keep Your Picture Clear (Home Demo) - Tom McRae
A Poem On the Underground Wall - Simon & Garfunkel
Outside In - John Martyn. I first heard this at a gig in Cambridge 15 yers ago, and it blew me away,
Eibhli Ghail Chiuin Ni Chearbhail - John Martyn
Fine Lines - John Martyn
Bert's Blues - Donovan
Late Night - Syd Barrett, later covered by This Mortal Coil
Baby Lemonade - Syd Barrett

Whether through holiday, illness or indolence, the 'All Day Breakfast Show' is currently on hiatus. I'm not sure this is worth pursuing... We'll see when it returns.

On the subject of James Taylor, I have yet to find a copy (download or otherwise) of 'Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon', which is odd as it contains 'You've Got a Friend', which is one of his more famous songs (albeit someon else's song).

T - 2 more Charing Cross/Bank branch confusion and ineptitude; M - 4; D - 3.
Potterwatch seems to be identifying either 20-something men of 30-something bingo-winged females. This is a children's book, people.
