Today we travelled to Abbotsbury in Dorset to track down our ISP, Abbotsbury Software AKA West Dorset Internet AKA Wessex Broadband. Having failed to find the premises, we went into Bellenies Bakehouse for coffee and cake and requested local knowledge. When we mentiond the company's proprietor was Tim Snape we received an instant response "oh yes, he's a local lad". This was followed by a quick telephone call, Tim's home number written down and I was offered the cordless 'phone because "mobiles don't work here".
Tim has been away in the USA but is back now and can hopefully clear my e-mail problems.

Today I received an e-mail from a woman asking for contact details for Ken Ames in order to ask him to play guitar for a party. She said she knew him from a few years back. Knowing that Ken lives in Kingston, I was able to find a telephone number for a K Ames via the BT web site. I telephoned, asking if I was speaking to the great jazz guitarist, but he modestly refused to acknowledge that fact. However, he did remember the woman in question and promised to bring a photograph of her to the Europa tomorrow. I have passed on the telephone number and e-mail address so hope to hear more about this private gig in future.
This is the second time this weblog has brought jazz musician and old friend together. I suppose this is nothing compared with the Danish guy who received an e-mail from a 37-year old woman asking if he could possibly be her father. He was, and when he met her he found she was the daughter of which any father would be proud. He is now deeply ashamed that he refused to acknowledge paternity after she was conceived.
