SO WHAT

SO WHAT

JOURNAL ENTRY, 30/07/2016, o5:33 hrs., PDT, Saturday, my place, its the crack of dawn no sun yet, 19ºC and slightly muggy,

MOOD 50/50

First coffee on my right and my sound track set to Miles and Miles of Miles. I have, for the last five nights, been reading “So What” by John Szawd while listening to a library of 200 Miles Davis pieces on my iPod. It gave me some insight to the life of an artist, I don't know if we could ever have been friends but its been an experience to vicariously

coast along in his wake.

Many thanks to good friend Ron “H” both for the book and the many disks and zip disks of Miles Davis from his earliest time until his tragic death.

I have never had any of the 78 acetate singles or the 45s but have about ten of 33 1/3 Lps both iin mono an stereo and fake stereo of the Prestige and Columbia releases most of them only listened to once before I recorded them on cassette so they are in pristine condition.

None of them are for sale, they will be part of my estate along with my books for my son and daughter to dispose of. A valuable segment in the debris of a life well lived.

Ciao, JWL
