It's like being a writer. I used to own a weekly newspaper - and
worked on others. And as all who know me will recognise ... have never
been shy about sharing my opinion and letting the world know what I
think. To that end I have obtained a domain and will be building a web
site where I can revive my old opinion column - The Dim View.
Now, tell me you didn't find a B-3 in an Op Shop. Please, tell me it
wasn't a B-3. One of my favourite Jass Organists, Brother Jack McDuff
hails from just down the road from here.
