The Triple Birthday Bash Playlist and Super Chelsea

Last night , apart from the celebration of three birthdays, it was a tremendous night for my cousin, Tim, whose worship of the Chelsea team, awarded him and any other Chelsea fan with a glorious win over Bayern Munich that went to penalties in the end.

I have never seen anybody so happy when they clinched the winning penalty in a nerve wrecking shoot out after a stalemate 1-1 draw in extra time.

I am glad they took away the smug arrogance of the Germans.

Barry The Train joined us for some drinks, and gave us a few drinks as well. Thanks for coming, mate.

After some initial problems getting to grips with Phil’s amp, the music flowed very well into the single speaker, and after almost forgetting to plug in the external hard drive, the auto DJ went well as we tucked into our soup. We then had the main meal, which was a bit of a struggle after s very fulsome spicy soup. Afterwards, i then went into standard DJ mode, by taking it off the autopilot.

I still prefer Virtual DJ but the MIxxx software is easy to use, and i love the auto mode, which allows you to stack up to 99 tracks.

So as always, here is the playlist , from what i remember - in no particular order -

Benny Golson - Killer Joe
Tubby Hayes - Down In The Village             (Barry the Train liked this one!)
Miles Davis Sextet - Teo
Gunter Kallman Chorus - Daydream

Andy Williams - Music To Watch Girls By
Dudley Moore - The Millionaire
The Monkees - Purpoise Song
Shocking Blue - Hot Sand

Marc Moulin - Who Stole The Groove?

There were a few other tracks, but because i did not log them down, i canna remember them now. Mike left first feeling totally pooped out, i stayed longer, and Tim ended the night drinking with Phil.

A thoroughly good evening.

Photos

Mike, my brother, has a Leica camera and he gave me his old but excellent Canon Ixus 95 with 10x zoom. I took some photos with it already once the battery charged up.



So, who is a photogenic cat Jasper?



So, which book will i read next?
