Re: Got tickets to see - your next live listen

Off to see Courtney Pine this evening at the Tung Auditorium. Last saw him over 30 years ago when he was slim.

Unfortunate but true. Went to see Lulo Reinhardt and Yulia Lanskya Friday before last. Loved the music but studied Lulo's left hand work. Aren't I the sad bugger!

Re: A sudden loss.

WOW. Didn't expect that when I logged on.

However, they aren't in great nick so not prepared to spend a lot on...
