London currently has a very exciting and inspiring jazz scene.

That's good to hear - is there any go-to source to learn more about what's going on in London?

I second what you wrote about carping versus sharing common ground and understanding what binds us together for better or worse.

Thanks, Marco. I try to leave politics out of the things I write but on this occasion, made sense to do so.

Robert, politics is almost impossible to ignore. It has divided families and worse. A group of former ambassadors and presidents of other countries than the USA have compared the USA to a wounded beast being circled by jackals. China, Putin and some other nations delight in this.

True and I follow politics avidly but find it wearying these days.

Yes it is very tiresome. This is why I avoid the news on TV and only read very little on the web. I have never been a political junkie. I would rather read a good novel, watch a movie or listen to music.
