    Olivier, this wasn't in a studio. It was in the loft of the bar where we had the party. David brought his backdrop and lights though. But yes, it would have been a lovely studio.

    A wonderful gesture. And were you one of the lucky early ones?

    Sorry about the confusion. Yes, you were gone a long time! :-) At some point a few months ago, I dropped my pen name (Jacob) in favor of my given name (Lowell)...It was time. I still use Jacob for some of my writing, though.

    As I said, it is nice to have you back. I think from the various comments you know how much you were missed!
