Dear John Coltrane,

I would like to respectfully apologize for not listening to your album “Giant Steps” as planned this evening. All the appropriate plans and accommodations were made to enjoy your wonderful recording, but it just didn’t work out.

Honestly, I had everything set up. I was sitting outside enjoying a New Belgium Sunshine Wheat. “Cousin Mary” had just started when WHAM — thunder. Really! In September! In Los Angeles! That just doesn’t happen. Despite the fact that thunderstorms had been forecast since Saturday, well, I just didn’t believe that it would really happen. Oops!

Anyway, it started raining really hard. I did my best to tough it out, but, well, I got wet and I couldn’t really hear the music any more. That sort of defeated the purpose.

Thanks for listening, and I do hope you understand. I’ll give it another go some time real soon.

Sincerely,

cp
