People think I’m crazy because I enjoy the solitary drive to and from Toronto.

Why on earth would ANYONE want to spend 5-6 hours isolated in a tiny automobile? For one thing, Tim Horton’s coffee tastes better when you’re in a Kingston rest-area surrounded by the Kingston regulars (Is it just me, or are they still stuck in the '90s?) I could be crazy… but using my sleeve to open doors in their truck stops is NOT the reason why I enjoy the drive.

Nor is it the scenery, or the cushier Ontario roads.
It’s all about the music in my car.

Setting: Super hot night outside, mega ice-box, jet cooled inside. What were they thinking? A nice fog formed at the entrance though...

Sasparilla and Sassafrass (The Pan-African Hour)

Sasparilla: What a dope show!

Sassafrass: Yes it was dope (monotone).

Sasparilla: Konono No. 1 have a very distinctive sound. By amplifying thumb harps (known in Africa as mbiras) they can distort the timbre of the instruments, creating a hazy, piercing sound, totally unlike anything else I have heard from Africa.
