I spend large amounts of time talking about music….also listening to it, playing it, and doing live sound for other people it. Tonight it was a lovely bunch of Berber musician in a tavern under a highway in Montreal in -20c weather…

Excellent piece, and I love that pome too! Here are the tracks our Tiree made last night, in the path we cut so she could sharpen her claws on her favourite lilac.
