Funny…Just Like That was/is the title of an album we made with African and Canadian musicians in a small studio in Kampala almost exactly 20 years ago now. Just reading the title makes me nostalgic…it was about living “just like that”.
Smiling, funny how a few words pull us back to memories…
David,
You gather such a striking range of quotes, thoughts, and observations. Each entry is a “surprise” in that sense, which makes your blog such a great place to drop by- as I have done this fall evening.
Thank you.
Tom
