Bredonborough Efurying An invitation from

Bredonborough.

E-furying. An invitation from a respected player…

I have been thinking of you recently as I am preparing / arranging some music of Arvo Part’s with the view of touring these pieces next year, the year of his
80th birthday…

I know you are probably very busy but I was wondering if you might be interested in recording these pieces with me with a view to touring Churches in Finland, Estonia and possibly Latvia, Lithuania and parts of Russia…

I have some super contacts in different parts of Russia who would love this concert Programme. We have enough time to arrange this properly. And if you are feeling up to it, I could also arrange a concert in North Korea, for North Koreans, not just Government Officials. I have played there before and music can be an extraordinary means of bringing light and difference in the darkest of places.

North Korea: this is a first.

The Minx and Mr. Bill called from home. This has been one of my twitchiest pre-flight lead-ins I can remember. Twitch twitch. I am not a good traveller, with too many experiences of appalling journeyings to have confidence in happy flying. But, assuming the virtue, life is getting better.

FlightRadar24: an impressive app. To close down the computer and off to the gate.

To the gate I…

A text from T, going to bed at 09.46, wrenched my heart.

Six hours time difference. Now dribbling.
