next

Konserthuset

"Concert-house" obviously,

where –et inconveniently

means "the". Regular

rows of men in tuxes

play there often, but odd

shows draw Walter. Last

Christmas Herbie Hancock

brought a band: drums,

sax from Chicago, Benini

guitarist, harmonica

where another horn

might otherwise be.

Two purists left

between first-set numbers.

Last night an ax man

from Melbourne, mostly

solo, mostly acoustic.

A woman beside him said,

"it sounds like two guitars "
