Question for DM. When was this picture taken?

When I was much thinner and younger

Ps. 1975. I was trying to stay underground as much as possible (never wanted to "expose myself" [img]smile.gif[/img] and agreed to do an IV for the Village Voice for my friend Vince Aletti. The jacket I bought in London, as I use to spend a lot of time there between 67 - 73.
Lived in Chiswick for 3 months also.

Haha...hey we were all younger and thinner once...

Where were you hanging out in London? Where did you go dancing?

[mdpm99]

Mostly upstairs at Ronnie Scott's. Also a lot of private parties in people's homes.

Ronnie Scott's is still going. Roy Ayers played there last week.

P.S. A good recording, "Sarah Vaughn at Ronnie Scott's". Mid 70s. Fantastic version of Send In The Clowns.

29 years later when I went back 2 london, I went over to Ronnie Scotts.

I also went to the park across the road from the Lancaster Gate Hotel where I use to go often. I sat there for awhile. You know that expression, "if I knew what I know now, then" --- it was a feeling I can't explain.

But I use to dream sometimes about that park and being in it......then I saw it again, in the real.

This time when I get there I am going to Chiswick.
I use to take the underground almost everyday. I want to re-trace some of me steps i.e. memories. Hopefully I have learned well and my steps will be more graceful.

I'm not sure what Chiswick was like in the last 60s and early 70s but today it's a very wealthy area. It's a very pretty part of London, some nice greenery around there too.
