That Pepper is hot!
Happy birthday.

I wish I could recall what was played in mine. But I'm sure it was highly programmatic. Fingal's Cave, Peer Gynt, Lieutenant Kije, the kind of thing we were played every morning in Junior school assembly off a big wooden cuboid record player.

My memory of it is skewed. Is it part of the BP effect...?

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen (at the Royal Festival Hall/SBC)

Abel Selaocoe & Aurora Orchestra
David Byrne
Nina Simone
Tyrannosaurus Rex/David Bowie
A Robert Mayer Children's Concert c. 1963 (1st time at a live orchestra)

Which was, er, nice...

Was kd at the Town & Country, with Hank Wangford opening for her?

Jonathan Kent directing Indian Ink at Hampstead, very shortly. #DimTheLights

I saw him chatting with Jagger at Rock'n'Roll and, heights apart, #lipsynch...

I know you weren't crazy about his Rock'n'Roll take on Syd, but his love for him and what he did was heartfelt.

Saw the revival which was good but didn't come close to the original, where John Wood was channeling Stoppard himself. The crackle of good wordplay.

Belated happy birthday.

You missed the armband.
