In Marking Hell

I keep eating chocolate and cookies, and drinking coke...

But as usual, Chopin helps me to go through the papers. I don't know why but for me it's the best music to mark on. I tried Holst's  The Planets earlier but it was less efficient. And when it's Samson François who plays Chopin, Marking Hell tastes a bit like heaven.

He looked like a poet and played piano like a poet, and of course his life ended too soon due to a reckless spendthrift lifestyle and a surfeit of alcohol, tobacco and drugs..

I think I'll go on with The Preludes when the beautiful 4th Ballade is finished.

TeenLinnit burned a copy of Tom's album for her b/f... he thinks it's 'retro cool' *huh?* Still, another convert.

Must look up tour dates, I'm actually feeling well enough to dare!

Another convert is good. Some day we'll be billions!

Strangest land is kind of "retro cool" indeed.

Next year, a friend of mine will move to London for her job so I might come more often, and since I sired turned her into a Tom fan, we'll definitely go to see him on stage over there.
