I'm getting Mr Satans apprentice for christmas. I didnt realise before but Sterling Magee was very popular in the UKs 'northern soul' scene in the 70s.

[KudzuRunner]

You're quite right. In 2001 or so, I exchanged emails with somebody who wanted to include several of Sterling's songs on a "northern soul" anthology. It came out in 2002, I believe.

A very atmospheric reading of a great story, is this book available in Ireland?

[KudzuRunner]

It's available at Amazon (dot) uk but not at shopireland, which seems to be the Amazon affiliate there.

[OmniphonProductions]

There's an old saying. "When the student is ready, the master will appear."

Is there any finer example than the story of how you met Nat?

[jodanchudan]

Adam, what's the status of the Satan and Adam documentary? Sorry if you've answered this question elsewhere.

[LutherRay]

When is the audio (you reading) version coming out? I could read it but the way you read it infers so much.

Thanks
