ideas about rhinoceros dentists

Rhinos in Munich? Well yes, of course. Saw this old photo, and it reminds me of previous summers hereabouts. Wanted to write something a bit more substantial, but this will have to do at the moment. There’s simply too much living going on to sit down and record any of it. However, this is where I leave… Continue reading ideas about rhinoceros dentists

August all to ourselves

   Many European cities are empty for the entire month of August. Well, not empty exactly, because there are still plenty of tourists. Yet the locals are gone.

Sometimes, I’m so busy hustling here and bustling to somewhere else that I… Continue reading pre dusk moment in Munich during a break in the clouds

idling right

Played a private party on the Isar this evening, and it really was quite enjoyable. Relaxed and a bit languid, even. I told Jarrod that I used to play gigs in a tuxedo and this was much more fulfilling. Wouldn’t go back to that earlier life as a musician for anything. Not that anyone misses… Continue reading idling right
