RIP Vangelis

 Oh no, it just gets worse. I hope Roedelius is feeling OK as I really can't bear to lose another musical hero right now. Vangelis was the absolute master of expressive symphonic cinematic majestic anthemic music and a performer like no other. I'm currently playing Mask, which I never managed to get on CD. The vinyl has held up pretty well - the few small patches of fungus not doing any great damage... also managed to get hold of the Tegos Tapes, which I never thought I would, but turns out Tony Sawford had it, of course. I also ordered Dragon on CD even though it was £30. Mad eh?
No reply from Picko yet but hopefully he's just mulling and may send in a track, would like to think so.

I heard the Vangelis news whilst on top of Glaramara, which was better than hearing it on top of Kate O'Mara, I imagine. Here are some pix. 

And the inner shot from SOS 

Hmm, a couple of crackles on Mask side 2 but still not too bad. Dear old vinyl!

Got a reply from Picko and a copy of his fab new album. Turns out we're both on that AWAL distribution thing, although I know almost nothing about it still. Hoping he'll do a track for the Tony thing - sent him mine, which is becoming a bit too complicated now. May go back to mix 3 ;)

Pat getting some progress with specialist so we're hopeful things will start to improve over the next 6 months. Booked to see Suzanne Cianni in June with Paul L and John Hickey, Tim not fancying it or working. Another nice trip into Manchester on train. Dunno where we're walking this week. Should work on novel and try out new paints but doing a lot of sitting around...
