I downloaded (I know, I know) a whole bunch of tracks when I got back and have been grooving to them all week. When payday comes it'll be first on the shopping list.

In SF in March Jens sang "Friday night at the drive-in bingo" with the audience whistling the saxophone part in lieu of a saxophonist. Maybe he didn't trust London's whistling skills.
