I dreamed a burglar broke into a mansion in New England. It was abandoned, so he started squatting there. In one of the rooms he found a collection of rare Portuguese fado records, LPs and 78s. He turned the ground floor of the mansion into a bar so that people could come and listen to the music.

Lamonica looks to the future (One Way Ticket) and the past (Hot August Night) in his lyrics. He is an optimist despite the current Stateside mess. The songs on Pony Tales come out swinging, not to throw a punch, but as an invitation to dance the night away.

Another recommendation for mystery lovers: Seicho Matsumoto's 1958 novel "Tokyo Express" (also published as "Points and Lines").
This police procedural is a tightly plotted tale of murder and corruption. You can read it in less time than it takes Inspector Mihara to travel from Fukuoka to Sapporo.

I dreamed I met someone who had invented a time machine, and I immediately hired them to take me to 4th century Wales so I could take scenic footage for a film adaptation of Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain.
