Hi Bob,
Thanks for comment as always. I think you were about the second response to 
this one. It does have a slightly different form on paper but Iwas to idle 
to bother. CD will be available from me soon and will be called "O'Grady And 
Mount Fuji" and will bring together a collection of poems, many of which I 
wrote in Japan and some since around this experience. For a short time I was 
a caucasian Basho. The poems will be interspersed with original guitar music 
by me and aided by effects produced in the recording studio. I'm only 
producing a few copies initially and will do more depending on demand. I 
don't fancy a shed load opf unsaleable CDs. I'll keep you and the list 
posted as wee are still laying down the music tracks. Hope you enjoy 
Aldeburgh.

James
