Today, it's mid June 2009. Only recently did I learn that Jamie, who really did "give" me the title of my book, had gone to heaven, now cavorting with all those heavenly souls, last September. Coincidentally, most of the eight-year collection of photos of us working and eating and meeting and laughing and traveling, with our Private Music colleagues, had been "lost." How thrilled I was to receive an extraordinary ethereal gift today. (Turns out "Google Alerts" comes through now and then.) I have a photo now, one of my favorites, of Jamie et moi at a Taj Mahal recording session circa 1992. This very gloomy day has become satisfying.

Must have felt like a gift straight from heaven.
