Hi Roberto,
I can understand you not wanting to know the nitty-gritty of American politics.
(Somehow that very idea must have gotten into one of my dreams... all the way
from the western edge of the continent. Amazing!) The latest skirmish didn't
have anything to do with politics, though, and didn't involve Kakki at all and
has been years in the making, and if you didn't read everything about it (and
that seems to be the case), that's probably a very good thing.

It may seem that way, but I for one am very curious about how this country is
viewed by the rest of the world. It's one of the great things about traveling,
and in lieu of that wonderful activity, reading what people around the world
think about anything is an appreciated substitute.
And, on another subject, I saw Follies the night before it closed since you
recommended it so highly. What a fantastic show! I was so glad I'd gone, and
that I'd been lucky enough to have a brief inspiring conversation with you
about it when you were here in NY.

NP: Richard Thompson, live in Kentish Town, London, 1991, another gift from
Catherine, the very generous music-sharing angel. This is a great recording! I
love the song with Shawn Colvin, and once again the label and cover are really
well done. Thanks so much!
