I am looking forward to the Tim Weimer session. By the way was reminded of your recent writing about American music /jazz in the USSR this morning on NPR they had a segment about a musician born in Moscow but now lives in USA. She referred to her Grandparents talking of Stalin outlawing listening to American Jazz and secretly distributing jazz music on old X-RAY films. Can’t make it up! Here is a link if Interested.
