Sooner or later, public forums and private conversations at this year’s festival end up pondering how 21st-century musicians will be paid. For nearly all of them, it won’t be royalty checks rolling in from blockbuster albums.

Good read & neat site to play on – am easily amused at 2 AM

Stop the Bus and crack a Tava open wide
Brazilian Samba is my fave

I could go on, but I’ll spare you?
