After all the fancy temples and other "must see" sights, we finally spent a wonderful evening at a tiny local jazz club. It had been recommended on Thrillist, a travel and entertainment newsletter I subscribe to. Up four flights of stairs, to an intimate room holding perhaps 20 people. A great little four-piece combo that really swung. Jazz is our "go-to" music, and it was so great to be able to reconnect with jazz all the way in Thailand. The other photo is of the moat that surrounds the "old city" of Chiang Mai. The jazz club was right on the moat.

I've been going through some old scrapbooks. I'm a relatively prolific writer of letters to the editor, and many of them are published. Here's one from about 40 years ago, that I think is still relevant. (I signed it under my "radio" name at the time.)
