Condolences...

I was intending to post the usual odd mixture of mp3's today but, on reflection, have decided that the invariably light-hearted tone I aim for alongside the serious love of the musics - which are mainly from America - jazz, blues, improvised, whatever - would not be appropriate, given the recent tragedy at Virginia Tech and also while the Memorial Service is still being broadcast over the BBC 24 hour news. My condolences to all who have been affected by this terrible incident - sometimes the only appropriate response is silence...
