I would love to answer Duane but I'm in the middle of a big
production in NYC and on my way this weekend to shoot in SF
and back to NYC for more...so I'll answer soon and will read
some excellent French guy called Herve Jaouen in the plane
...short novel too...
Merci for the tip about the Perfection that I'll pick up and
above all merci for the bar in Louisville...I'll go to The
Temple bar in NYC tonight which is one of my faves in that
genre in the apple...
Bonne lecture et merci encore
