Event horizons

As always the case,
these last weeks after returning from Japan have been revelatory.
And they have brought some unexpected blips , bumps and curves.
New friends and old in Japan, lost a gig in France , thoughts about some amazing gig offers for late in year.

Thoughts of and from around the world ...
