Fourteen Records And the Wrong Woman
Here definitely was "the pleasant place," and, equally definitely, "nothing wanting was save She—alas!" Nothing, that is, provided you are not of Mr. Khayyam's tastes: No wilderness? No book of verse? No jug of wine? Possibly not, but after all, you could have brought your own; the organisers of the session would be glad if you brought a little for them, too.
In spite of this initial difficulty, the session went off very successfully, just as a jazz session should. Neil Mountier gave his usual though largely esoteric commentary on each record, and there were sufficiently few people present to enable complete relaxation. It is to be hoped that the next session (to be held shortly) will be as great a success.
And, in reality, perhaps there was no initial difficulty at all. For although She was strangely wanting, He did not arrive either. And, for next time, watch the notice board, and please bring your own supper—or, preferably, have it beforehand.
