I haven't been reading much of anything interesting lately, though I have
just re-read Marquez's "One Hundred Years Of Solitude," and am planning on
picking up the new John Irving (still not believing that Hollywood has
corrupted yet another fine work ("A Prayer For Owen Meany") with a movie
adaptation). Anyway, I've been looking for a couple of Bill
Bruford/Patrick
Moraz discs for the past few years, and have struck out miserably. They
are
"Music For Piano And Drums," and "Flags." If anyone has a copy of either
or
both, would they be interesting in trading for other musics that I have
that
might be of interest?
Please let me know. Thanks,
