Aha! Finally got the Patty Waters CD "Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe,Live In San Francisco 2002" (DBK Works 2005) from Borderline.One last copy at £4. So now it will be added to the "Patty Waters Sings" (ESP Disks),and all i need now is the "College Tour" CD on ESP Disks.Anyway,like "College tour" it's a live album raw and in the flesh unadulterated with studio trickery to smoooth out the rough edges of a voice that is fragile as her her advancing age.Still,a really enjoyable album of chesty old jazz classics which the great Billie Holiday once sang.A potted biog of her is avaiable at http://www.scaruffi.com/jazz/waters.html

Picked up an art book on Marc Chagall from Sandpiper Books for a £1 in their back room.

In the middle of a fine survey which i started on Monday about climate change and it pays well!!
