I’m reminded of the, probably apocryphal, tale of a well known British birder who left his wedding reception when he heard news of a rare bird that had turned up. Needless to say the marriage didn’t last.
Currently listening to ‘Dresden’ by The Jan Garbarek Group. Takes me back to when we saw him with Eberhard Weber and Nana Vasconcelos at The Bluecoat Chambers in Liverpool.

So it’s 1980 and I’m at Gainesville for my 362nd show, but last minute parking lot buy leaves me in the nose bleed seats. I wander down for a beer and meets a guy at the concession stand.
Guy says he has an extra ticket for the 3rd row and to follow him down.
Down we go and sure enough, 3rd row center!!!
I’m blown away (tripping balls at this point), but ask, “Don’t you need this seat?”
Guy says, “No,,, that’s my wife’s seat and she died.”
Great just what I don’t need to hear in my state, but ask “no friend or relative you could have asked?”
He says, “no they’re all at the funeral”
