Was playing the Grub the other day, and found myself playing Dusty Miller, then today while fixing my daughter's crappy keyboard, played it in E flat, starting on C and it turned into garfields BB. anyone else? or have I been listening to too much Capt Beefheart these days? And in Spain, Enrique Morente has just died too: fantastic flamenco singer with as wide a palette as you can imagine: recorded with a Punk band, but was also purer than the pure. So endeth the ramble
