A Substack freebie to kick things off
This time time stops. The "500 Days of Night" Substack launched last week, a long-awaited (by me) resurrection of the old Brazil tour journal I used to write. Going through the old entries, I'm already getting misty-eyed, and I expect it to get worse. The past is, as they say, a foreign country. But I figured I'd repost the first non-preface entry here for posterity, if for nothing else than just to show the Sunday blog some love. If you haven't subscribed, I hope you do so
