Hi, thanks for stopping by and reading my post.
Yes, he was a very talented friend, he died a few years ago. It was an extraordinary time: I met most of the friends I keep today, learned to drink coffee as a regular drink in literary gatherings and had my first beers. I was a vegetarian at that time and with two beers I was knocked out.
That photo was after a friend's birthday, shown below, on the right. That's the balcony of his house, the one with the best parties, with the best selection of music I ever knew.
