Incredulity and bemusement from various policemen at the bottom of Reigate Hill as I, sole non-emergency vehicle on the road, was spotted was gently nosing my Spitfire slowly around huge fallen oaks.

I can only hear a 22sec sample on the great AllMusicGuide, who say this about it:<BR/><BR/>"And while this side-long number has some dreamy moments, it also bogs down in a trite climax or two; one gets the sense of a jazz fusion and prog rock marriage Metheny luckily never fully explored.

Ex came from near Sevenoaks (or Zero Oaks as it became in the hurricane) and it looked like a post holocaust scene. Their road was blocked for 6 weeks with fallen trees. It made me cry when I saw it. I was living in a squat in Stepney at the time. That night was the end of that, as the roof came off. Only three of us made it into the office in Temple that day.lilithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011676751221508167noreply@blogger.com
