    Oh Michael, you skipped the 1970s. I am sure I was in the space circa 1971 and had some tea and passed over some hippy antiques. Might have even seen my first futon then too. Or am I dreaming? Was only a 20 something.

    Once more, hats off to the Marvellous Michael Horne. Always a pleasure to read his work. And here’s to the success of The Deep Groove. It looks like a winner.
