We are ahead of you so I missed it by five hours.

The great comedian/genius Peter Cook felt that JL was one of the very few who could keep up with his incredible imagination and saty funny himself.

Blogs are healthier for a bit of dissent. So can I also cast a vote for 'Imagine' being one of the most appalling pieces of music ever written? Please.

Michael,

How sweet of you, please send me tracks! (You'd be surprised at how little I know.)

Glad you like the music.

PP: I've confessed my disdain for Paul Simon so I suppose anything goes!

Hope you're well,

Katie
