@Laure - as a long time NYC ex-pat I can tell you that you may leave the city, but the city doesn't leave you. Often that is a bittersweet thing. A decade later I still call myself a New Yorker and end up talking to others of the same ilk at parties etc.

*I've always enjoyed your show. I listened when you were on the schedule a few years ago. Best of luck to you in your new landing spot.
*In regard to NYC and its metro area, I think I'm done with it. I still think NYC is amazing, and it was great to be immersed in it when I was younger, but my "days in the sun" around these thar parts over. I'm now seeking year-round beaches, cheap rum drinks, and early-bird dinner specials.

Coltrane is Home. For me - the only one to rival Hendrix for top honors in many respects.
- 'We only saw the manic side' - the RW thing is shocking for just that reason I think C'ec - he seemed so life affirming - not like he was washed up w/ no job offers, unadmired or under-appreciated - entirely the contrary - tho' of course glenn is right. In hindsight - seems so very Manic; some may think him too cute or mainstream or something - but was he not Improv genius of the highest order ?? Wow. & his voice meant something - w/ his social commentary & continuous charitable work. Very very sad.
