"Don't Mess With Mr. T"

I really don't know how much more dull it can get while waiting to return to London.
What makes things even worse is getting urges to go to places in Canterbury where you don't want to be seen dead in, which is a problem I've had for many years that keeps coming and going.
It's not really something I like to discuss the exact details of, but it doesn't make things any better for me when things aren't going too well.
I also ended up opening a bag of Haribos that were bought for me last week by Mum and Dad in France and I'm now at the point where I'm full up but I still feel the urge to continue eating them.
It doesn't feel good at all.

I've spent the last few days going through all the albums released by The James Taylor Quartet, one of the finest jazz/soul acts to come from the UK, Rochester to be more precise.
I never really discovered them until Autumn 2001 when I had started college and their "Hammond-ology" compilation which I heard playing in the HMV in Canterbury and thought was stunning.
I'd definitely say that compilation contains contains all their high points as most of the other tracks on the albums released up to then aren't as good and don't really grab me as much as stand-outs such as "Groovin' Home", "Shelter" and "Love The Life" which hit the Top 40 in 1993 and brings back a few memories of being ill on my birthday.

There are quite a lot of good tunes on their 1992 album "Supernatural Feeling" which was quite a dance flavoured album with Noel McKoy on vocals and I've used quite a lot of tracks on there as show openers. One of them being quite fitting for how things are now; "See A Brighter Day".

I've met Noel once or twice at a few gigs I've been to in London but have never actually seen JTQ perform live so here's hoping this year will change that.
Having said that they appear to be performing at the Jazz Cafe in late November with Yvonne Yanney on vocals so I'll make sure I'll be around for that.
