We reminisced about that, and more, and there might even have been a tape of it, such as Marek naughtily made from a pocket at many the gig he attended, which recordings might well be an addition to the warm memories. He did have some life, our very own Ann Frank equivalent, born in Poland to Jewish parents in 1941, existing in secret until the alleged liberation, and then the years of pre-Jaroselski and the more like liberation which allowed him to reach the part of the West called the Middle East.</p><p><br></p><p>I felt a lot less like housebound, which I was before the current sequence of lockdowns, with the regular fun from Marek <br></p><div>-- the link below came from him, bizarrely, the same day the same link, non-jazz but maybe adaptable (?) came from my mate Werner in Vienna, much younger and much too early departed too.
