Chat with James Bradburne, Steve Moore and Janey Walker in posh caff in Green Park - above all, the spring sunshine (first no coat day of the year)
Listening to Doug Miller's Desert Island Discs - especially Starless and Bible Black by Stan Tracey Quartet (what a title - Dylan Thomas's?)
Meeting Rebecca Wilson from the Saatchi site/Your Gallery (10 million hits a day!) - Dylan playing in the empty caff (Tupelo Honey, Camden Town - the old Van-Bob axis)

Re - starless. Yes, it comes from the album Under Milk Wood - 1964. I just knew you would like this track. The 'breathy' saxophone of Bobby Wellins (Glasweigan - still playing the circuit now) is perfect and the piano feels like soft drizzle on a very warm evening.
It's the most astonishing musical revelation I've had in a long time (thanks!) and it makes me want to go and read Under Milk Wood, or better still find a tape of Richard Burton reading it (i've only ever read/heard snatches of it)
