Harker

43. I met her and Lenny Kaye in the second hand bookshop where I worked.

I'm sorry I hadn't read her prior, as we would have had much literature to discuss.

Talking music with Lenny was fun and mutually rewarding, I think. I got to thank him for "Nuggets", which is a great assemblage of garage bands from the latter half of the sixties.
