Heya, happily new ear. I see yer playing on Feb9, Lisa and I'll be in the 'ton and perhaps try to get out and see you that night. I don't really know my schedule for the visit yet, I let others, more nelightened, look after those issues. But it'd be great to see you, and possibly even better to hear you. X

What's even more amazing is that Photoshop hadn't been invented when that photo was taken. Just how it turned out, somehow. Very weird.
