I am daily astonished to get messages from people in places far and wide.  I had forgotten how many times Gary played in Europe, especially in Italy, back in the ’70s and ’80s… with The Brotherhood of Breath and with The Carla Bley Band.  The Italian fans in those days are still fans today and have written to say so.  One of the blogs is by Sergio Amadori.  He calls his blog Hibou, Anemone & Bear (I must ask him why).  He posted an excerpt from my memoir, and chose a paragraph that, to me, is key to the book.  http://www.hibou-anemone-bear.com/2013_03_01_archive.html  (scroll down)
He wrote a second blog, with Robert Wyatt’s review of my book:  http://tinyurl.com/d64lal4 
The result: my books are selling in Italy!
