    Hi ! Late at night, couldnt sleep. Listening to your voice (not only what you say) reminds me of you and your spirit of rebellion. It’s good to hear. Anyway its late, I must get up in an hour and put together an amazing lunch for a 12 year old to bring to school.
    I read that book by Anthony K because often when traveling to other lands I would grab anything in English to read. I’ve read the history of The Eagles, Barbara Streisand ,Cher , Barry Manilow anything laying around in English. They were mostly the same schedule. The journey. “Winston Churchill was a wee boy” , “Cher was always a creative child”
    I like your non tests. Hope to talk soon! Sonny

      Yes man, we must talk one of these fine days. I don’t know if you have my number, I’ll send it.

      Have you read Mark Lewisohn’s “Tune In: The Beatles: All These Years”? If not, email me your mailing address at once and I will send you a copy. The thing is huge and insane, and it only covers them up to the time juuuust before they blew up. It’s incredible. He’s working on the 2nd and 3rd parts.
