Or, meet us at our ranch in Arizona, early summer 2014, or just fly to Buenos Aires right now..... We will be here until january when we begin our ride to Arizona.

A stewed prune from London's Auntie Nells.


I try to imagine sometimes, when out for a long Charlie Pride, , that is what's happening inside my Ivor.

This Ding Dong from some Londoners may explain....

And from a West Londoner....


The King Lear of the same name is also from West London.

Thank you for the balancing effect of your contributions

Rosa has just returned from Spain - her Father is fast approaching his next life
meanwhile, here in B A I have been hosting 3 aussies , + 1 real rock star
- she is performing at the hipodromo - Casino de Palermo and a 21 year old Kira Knightley/Penelope Cruz look alike who is my mistress. Not! well maybe...

The aussies were more than awesome !!! 2 BMW Darkars and 1 Domi looking Honda 650 what a time we had.... it is all park and party with the aussies

one is captain of the seas, another a steering wheel attendant (truck driver) and the third a very young intellectual university prof who was lecturing his way through South America with the sailor, truck driver and their 3 motorcycles.

I met the mother of the rock star, star performer at the casino - her daughter did a retro 60s performance that included Argentine 60s rock that left me dry heaving gasping and confused but finally broke into the Beatles early stuff and then wound it up to some - what I consider Rock and Roll.... we all went out to dinner and conversation etc

Thought you like to know the following about JPL it was originally Jack Parson's Lab Jack was a good buddy /house mate of L Ron Hubbard who is the founder of Scientology and navel intelligence officer - both were followers of Aleister Crowley. Parson's created JPL and then died under very mysterious circumstances, but he indeed was the founder of JPL, and LRH founded Scientology. I miss that dog and pony show....

More found : Parsons JPL occult NASA crowley OTO and by a little independent research

I am addicted to the Sahelsounds after one go at them,

Here is LRH music

I've been thinking - music performance in posh concert halls, recording studios, TV studios, massive stages, big pubs, maybe doesn't really follow the ethos of 'adventure motorcycling'.
It should be out on the street, with the people, coming and going.
And now there are dozens of street pianos all over the place for that very purpose......

Outside York Minster

and this guy's wearing gloves! I'm going to try that when I've posted this lot up.....


Outside Herne Hill station, south London, near where I'm from




And the same, I think, Rachmaninov Prelude, here in St Pancras station



There are at least two pianos in St Pancras, new ones replacing the old ones last year.
Another:

(A bit of motorcycling at 4:56)


Whenever I pass through they're all occupied, so I took this photo a few weeks ago:

The children were really bouncing around to their mum's playing.


Another, at Liverpool Street. No age limits....




And finally, Polish artist Eduard Pazhik and daughter Marianna, indoors to start







and outdoors:


Wspaniały!

The other night, soon after I received "The Swordsman" a painting by my grandfather, I shook as I starred at it and it said to me if you want Blues, read Kerouac - who lived with his mother next door to my Grandmother in St. Petersburg, Florida just before he died. I actually met him at the "Wildboar" pub in Tampa where he sat crossed legged on the bar - drinking Old Crow and beat the beat of his own drum.

I re read "on the Road" and because it is appropriate here share a few of Kerouac's quotes on this Jack Kerouac and Jack Daniels night at Rancho Los Rosales in Flagstaff, Arizona.

“because he had no place he could stay in without getting tired of it and because there was nowhere to go but everywhere, keep rolling under the stars...”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“Better to sleep in an uncomfortable bed free, than sleep in a comfortable bed unfree.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“As we crossed the Colorado-Utah border I saw God in the sky in the form of huge gold sunburning clouds above the desert that seemed to point a finger at me and say, "Pass here and go on, you're on the road to heaven.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Kerouac died September 6th 1969 defending a disabled Air Force veteran in a bar after the manager beat the sh.. out of him. The real culprit was alcohol.
