Ladies and Gentlemen (and anyone else) of Los Angeles, I will be doing a reading/signing/chit-chat for my book "Sparks-Tastic" at Book Soup on Monday April 29th at 7:00 PM. For those who can't make it to the reading or from some other part of the world, one can contact the store at 310-659-3110 to pre-order a book. Do enjoy.

Sadly I missed out in obtaining the above image. Its a 78 rpm release of a recording with Charlie Parker - the first time I believe he as appeared on record. The other "first" is that the cover was drawn by Wallace Berman, my Dad, when he was a teenager. Very rare, in fact the package here photographed didn't have the disks inside. Nevertheless it would have been great to have this, but at the same time I have no regrets. The memory of something (even if its true or false) is more important than the object. But i have to say I am rather proud that my Dad is both on the cover of Sgt. Pepper as well as being involved in Parker's first recording for a label. That's pretty great.
