a week ago i went to see my friend J (JtJP) play a gig over in ravenscourt park,
playing with J that night were - R, student of mine, lovely singer, F a wonderful drummer who i've played with once, when i played one of those sunday jazz gigs in camden... and the guitarist who i've met but can't remember his name, lovely player, and a bass player...
on my way out there, i got off the tube and was walking up the road when a man asked me if i knew where the polish centre was...
i told him i didn't but that i had googlemaps on my phone and that i might be able to help...
a short while later i had directed him back down the road he had been walking along, and i made my way up that road towards the gig, where i met lovely D, (who sold me the moog all that time ago and who drums in many of the improvisations)... the gig was wonderful... all of them were marvellous, i had a rocking time watching them play...
also the pub saw fit to show Top Gun projected massively behind the band from film4... it started pretty much as they started and it finished almost exactly when they finished...
me & D drunkenly shambled back down that road to the tube and were waiting for a train when the man who i'd directed to the polish centre earlier came onto the platform...
it turns out he's a sax player, he was going to see a bigband, run by a man who fixes and sells saxophones, in fact at least one of the SJP's have got a sax from that man...
so we chatted awhile, talked about the musicians life... sax players... music...
got on the train when it came and before we knew it me & D were getting off and he was staying on...
so that was that... he goes by the name of BP... and it was nice bumping into him x
