London was mostly fun this week - walking down from Kings Cross to Old Street, blazing sun, blue sky, puffy clouds, pink blossom trees - Spring must be here! Jesus, I’m schweatin’ with all these clothes and my ever-heavy laptop/camera/books/clothing bag.

Was meant to have an art experience - but cut it short. Went to a private view but soon got bored - on to the Watermark instead for serious drinking. Ended up walking the streets confused with Mitch & his new date before stopping for falafel & chips then crashing at Jan’s (lots more musical talk, 99% of which I forgot, but he did introduce me to Robert Randolph (the king of sacred steel), a collaboration between Randolph and John Medeski + The North Mississippi All-Stars, and KCRW radio station (actually, I have a tape of KCRW’s “morning becomes eclectic” program which I bought at a roadside stall in India 8 years ago).

Also got to meet FAD-mag’s new art contributor, Therese Stowell. Love her work!
