...ahem, thanks Alyn but she worked for the Revenue innit .... El Senor's heart is broken and bitter and he has developed a fixation with ducks ....According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe. -
"Moira, why did you leave me, why did you have to go...you sold your soul to the Rev and made Mr. Bluesnik SO sore."

BTW, much cynical laughter in accountancy circles at Moira's own convenient aka "efficient" private company tax arrangements whilst she fronts the state's IR campaign and takes the BBC Staff shilling...
After Starbucks...Moira!

I think the biggest surprise I had regarding celebrity jazz fans was reading about Peter Andre's passion for the music. I know nothing about him but saw in one of the papers the other weekend end that he cited Quincy Jones and George Benson as particular heroes before mentioning that he has a brother who works as a musician and who plays 7 instruments. The observation was that he knew about he knew what it mean't to be able to thoroughly master an instrument and hence why he believed jazz musicians were amongst the best of them all. The article in question was an interview and not a wind up.Comment
