Does anyone recognise this painting of Santa Cruz Boardwalk. I purchased it whilst on a US business trip around 2010 at a beach shop at Kirby Cove or somewhere along the coastline. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just found an old picture from the Vogue magazine which used to hang above my workbench/desk. Sadly cannot recall the year but possibly 1970’s.

Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee was one of my earliest EP’s, and was purchased from a record shop on the Isle of Sheppey. The Piano Red has a track Peachtree Parade which to me is simply brilliant.

Another of my books covering American blues, jazz, and field recordings. This one’s 1944 and is a brilliant early reference book.
