Going thru the banks for money exchange in Europe is ripe with unpleasant surprises which is why I try to avoid this whenever I can

Thanks Brownie, but you have to wait for me to learn how to pay you MG Not to worry... there are several ways to have money cross the Channel!

CDs 7, 8 an9 What a magnificient box that was. Wish I had been able to attend those VV evenings!

The set goes to MG! A good birthday purchase! I'll get it sometime next week and will ship it by the end of the week.

Saw a copy of the Brian Rust Jazz Records 1969 edition from Storyville in a secondhand book/record shop here. The two volumes. Both in OK shape, not mint but not bad at all. I did not have a full look at the volumes, noticed some pencil handwriting but nothing that cannot be erased, if needed... €35 for the two volumes which seems like a very good price. I don't need another discography but if anybody is interested, pls PM me. The two volumes are on hold until next Wednesday. Postage should be around €15 within Europe. Payment by Amazon.fr voucher.

A giant exhibition on Django Reinhardt opens this week at the Paris Cité de la Musique. It was directed by former O. member Vincent Bessières. If it is as good as his 2009-2010 'We Want Miles' show, it will be a must-see exhibition. A preview (in french): The show will be on view at the Cité de la Musique until January 23, 2013.
