We stayed one night in Paris, Texas, and in the morning Vyv went to pack the car while I checked out. With her usual difficulty with anything technical, she had problems working out how to unlock the passenger door (you have to push unlock twice) so another guest came to her aid. He turned out to be one of the members of the band Three Dog Night. At the same time, I was meeting the rest of the band at reception.

They had played a gig in town the previous night. I would have gone along had I known.

Such is life...
