I listen to Take 5 in memory of Dave Brubeck who died on December 5. When I first heard his music it sounded raspingly modern after the settled tempos of New Orleans. I hadn't realised until I read the obituaries that he studied classical composition under the French composer Darius Milhaud. Nor that Take 5 was in fact written by Paul Desmond the saxophonist in the original Dave Brubeck Quartet. It seemed very modern when I first heard it. Now it appears as another milestone in the past.
It is hard to be greedy for salad, which perhaps explains the poster in the window of Pizza Hut in The Strand which offers "Free unlimited salad all day every day".
A character in a seedy novel pursues the author of the book in the new short story called The Stalker which I have just posted in One Fine Day.

A stunning, very creepy tale over at One Fine Day. I like the oddness of what is real and what is in the book.
Thanks, m-j. Glad you enjoyed it.
