Charity shop jazz: a thing I haven't seen before. The owner has (I'm presuming) meticulously recorded each time he played the CD. Looks like he (and surely it's a 'he') got his money's worth.

six jazz cd by Miles, Coltrane, Lester Young, Zoot Sims etc, each with a date list showing the seven or eight times they've been played.

I was a hummus avoider for a very long time, then for reasons forgotten I tried it. Totally addicted now.

Very sad news. He packed so much into the time he had left, and was a valued member of a happy and slightly bonkers social group on here and previously Twitter for many years. He'll be missed by many. Much love to those he leaves behind xx
