It’s never happened to me, alas, but a friend of mine snapped this photograph on the B train in New York City the other day and e-mailed it to me. The book on the left is, needless to say, the paperback edition of Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong.
Whoever and wherever you are, dear reader, I hope you were enjoying yourself as much as I enjoyed seeing you on the screen of my MacBook!
