\t\t\t\tThere will be no blog post today as I am travelling for the next 24 hours or so to Europe via LA. I have a detective novel to read – well 79 in fact, I have just started the complete Maigret series written by Belgian author Georges Simenon – so in the spirit of that great song from the Who – I hope I get finished with the series before I get old! And regular transmission will probably resume from Paris on Tuesday. While I am flying I will not be attending to comments that need moderation. So it might be some time before you see your comment published (or not). I hope to see many MMT people at one or more of the events where I will be speaking in the next two weeks – the details are overleaf.

September 27-29, 2019 – The 3rd International MMT Conference<\/a> – Stony Brook University, NY – panel presentations.<\/p>\n I really like this track – Dark And Lovely (You Over There)<\/em> – from Barry White<\/a> – the guitar break at the end elevates the song to some height.<\/p>\n Yes, I think Barry White was a great singer. You need guys like this to add some crazy stuff – his bass-baritone voice and his unashamed romanticism to the music offerings.<\/p>\n I have one of his albums – this one – The Ultimate Collection<\/a> – which was released in 2000.<\/p>\n I also liked his history – gang member, jailed, heard Elvis singing while he was in jail, life changing, became one of the great soul singers.<\/p>\nMusic to make travelling easier …<\/h2>\n
