And let us not forget, especially we jazz lovers, the ever-present Afro-Nederlander companion of Sant Nikolaas, "Swaarte Piet" ("Black Pete") - probably the inspiration for Miles Davis's role of the jive-talking busker in Bill Murray's modern-dress adaptation of Dickens titled "Scrooged."
Pointless Digressions is the on-line extension of a radio series commissioned sometime
in the last century by the Vancouver radio station AM-1040 (now Team 1040, an all-sports broadcaster). The mini-programs were written and voiced by Lyndon Grove, whose ambition, he said, was "to digress my way through life."
Grove describes himself as "a media Gypsy," having spent vast amounts of time in radio,
television, newspapers, magazines, advertising, public relations, film and live performance.
Pointless Digressions is his self-help therapy project.
