"Yes - that's all it is.   Same as picasso's simple drawing of a dove or a nazi swastika.  When you look at them all you see is a white squiggle or a sort of square thing - isn't it?"

Who is Derek of Palmers Green?

This morning on Radio 4's Broadcasting House a DJ was recalling his favourite record shops.   He mentioned one of his favourites which is a little record shop in Palmers Green run by a bloke called Derek.

Terrific Saxophone Busker outside Bounds Green Tube

Posted on January 15, 2013 at 17:08 0 Comments

I was feeling a bit blue and just went over the shops on the parade at Bounds Green.  There was a guy busking outside the tube station - a jazz saxophonist playing Take Five by Dave Brubeck amongst other stuff.  I hope he returns, he cheered me up no end. (Yes, I did donate!).
