What an unpleasant surprise to have just before class. Or at all. We've lost a legend. All I can do now is turn up the music and remember.

What a sharding shame.

Rest in peace, Ali Farka toure.

Didn't know you knew his work. I love it. And agreed. I have a link for you some time, live recordings from Mali with him performing in his hometown and in Timbuktu with the best singer in Mali, hands down, ever.

Ok, I'll mention it next time I see you on.

And yes, I only (sadly) know one album, but it's /perfect/ for the hot, dry summers we have around here. Ahh, memories.
