I'll have to play that next - see if it rings any (non-wedding) bells. "Sippin' at Bells" for me! At noon? Hate to think what state you'll be in at 6.00! Always keep clear of the spirits, myself. "Sippin' at Bells", recorded NYC August 1947 by Miles Davis (tpt), Charlie Parker (tnr), John Lewis (pno), Nelson Boyd (bs) and Max Roach (dms), does great things for the spirit!

Very hard to escape it, isn't it? Wife and I have a media blackout in the house today, but I then find part of the street closed off for a party!!! However, this afternoon I'm going to see L'affaire Farewell, a French Cold War espionage thriller - suitably off message for today's events, don't you think?

Happy Birthday, Niko!

well I do, for one. Especially when they've got Ringwood Ales on cask in place of overpriced lattes.. Heh heh. Well Cafe Oto has some *great* bottled beers by Kernel! Come and join me and I'll buy you one. In fact I'll buy you ten - and a latte! I think I'd need ten: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/apr/25/han-bennink-review?INTCMP=SRCH

Are you buying up the entire 2nd hand jazz stock in Manchester, Bill? No worry - plenty still left for other Manc jazzers, Sidewinder!
