Hythe Visit

another lovely day although it did have a dull and cold moment midday. I visited the coastal town of Hythe after spending the morning in the Office. Hythe got its name from the fact that it was a hythe , or landing place, for Saltwood. The village of Saltwood lies north of Hythe on the high land overlooking the Romney Marsh, an area once famous for smuggling.

In the town i peruse a couple of charity shops after doing my main visit, and found these  CDs foe a quid each -






I also found this LP for a quid in a charity shop , which being mono and not the stereo version when it was re-released in 1966 , UK version of it, is worth twenty quid on Discogs, so that is where i put it for sale.



The Portishead album is one of those CDs that i use to have and lost some years back, so i was happy to get another copy of it.

Humbug

So why do i feel like not going out ? Well, it is a dull and overcast and i have yet to do the report for yesterdays visit to Hythe. The scanning job feels like a millstone round my neck. Perhaps i feel in a state of blah humbug and i need to snap out of it.

Jazz me Up

That feeling of ennui has not disappeared as yet, an i think that like synaesthesia my moods are linked to the weather. Mind you, it is jut a theory and yet i am happiest when it is lovely sunny day. Today was not one one of them. Col miserable and overcast.

last night i watched University Challenge in which i did poor in except for all the literature ones, which  pleased me , no end. I then caught up with the latest Revenge Of the Egghead. Strange, but all the questions that  CJ had created to bamboozle the contestants i got right.

However, i did manage to find this book for £3 in a charity shop , all 1548 pages of it, and of course one to dip into, being tat i love jazz music. It normally retails for thirty quid , maybe more as it's eighth edition of it cam out in 2006.

Plus this CD by Guy Barker for  a quid .

Guy Barker

I am quietly in awe at this outstanding jazz CD by Guy Barker "Soundtrack" . The music is tight, has lots of flair, and has a great feel to it. The bonus being that i found it in a charity shop for a quid today.

Here is a clip of Guy Barker on the trumpet with guitarist Martin Taylor doing a version of  Li'l  Darlin'.
