  2. Now, why did I expect to hear Bill Evans and Jim Hall on that one?

  4. JohnS (of Portsmouth,UK) says that regrettably he's never been to Toyko, so who are you talking about?
  5. Went back to my old copy which looks like this. Though I have never been to southern Spain and its favourite holiday destinations for Brits, I was surprised to find I've been to almost all Orwell's civil war places - Barcelona, Tarragona, Lerida, Zaragoza - as a result of a visit last year to my daughter, who was teaching English in the last-named city. As you might expect from this master of English prose, there are some spectacular action episodes, though the lengthy passages of political debate drop the temperature considerably.

  8. Recently finished this excellent book. As usual, it was the anecdotes that most appealed, e.g: DON RADER: As I recall, we were in Charlie's Tavern in New York City, it must have been 1960, and I think the band had a night off. We were all in there just drinkin' and Woody got kind of "out of it", and walked out of this bar, which was a long bar with no tables. He walked straight out, and parked out front was a NYC police car and Woody got in the back seat. The cop turned around and said, "What do you want?" and Woody said, "Just drive, I'll tell you where to go!"
  9. Unpleasant subject matter. Superb film.
