Technology 1

I try hard not to go on about technology and gadgets on the blog. There are far too many people doing that already. But. There are two things that have made life better.

1 The iPod: having all my music and radio plays in a little box that fits in my pocket is just marvellous. It suits me fine, I was never one for worrying about owning albums or having the cover-art, what mattered was the one or two tracks that I wanted to hear again. Having the ability to hear what I want and where is a privilege I try hard not to take for granted – it really is great to be walking the dog and think “I'd really like to hear that Carla Bley track again” and to be able to do it.
