Recollecting my moments on a moving train to the woods I was still struck by how my evening ended on Friday 13th October. It began with me eating a cheeseburger and fries and ended with having a conversation with a musician from Roy Hargrove’s Quintet whilst he ate his cheeseburger and fries….a little intrusive?
