thank you also to alan, for a cryptic message that i have yet to decipher. you know, perhaps, that leonard was well-versed in the antics of the head piercer, and wrote about him with considerable enthusiasm?
same forum, same century, same "incongruous" recognition denier, the same Norwegian, the same wonderful friend of mine, in a thread that admittedly only lasted for 3 years with thousands of replies, that was dominated by Geoffrey and Violet, here was my favourite part of my favourite post in that wholly unforgettable thread

.. sounds that tied me to my father and his family.. [his having been born in Aberdeen]
.. there was the sound of bagpipes in Brooklyn where I lived, as well. I was out, it was also that dusky hour.. and that sound came from a nearby school yard that was empty. And it seemed so incongruous as to have a special beauty.
.. but, even here.. on the water.. where that sound more properly belongs, maybe.. still, it seemed incongruous.. timeless, in a sense.. sad.. but still so beautiful.
I have a yukky, cloudy memory that Violet has passed on.
