This time, “Mighty Bruce” wanted to know more about my Brazilian past. See here:

You can listen here (I won’t!):


The interview has really forced me to dig into my museum of pictures. The picture with my Ford Galaxie also shows my late wife Danielle, mother of my daughter Marianne who was born in Recife. See here others not used, showing how Brasilia, the capital of Brasilia, looked like in late 1979.


The pictures were taken in the center of the new capital and on the main boulevard, with the ministries lined up. It looks empty, quiet. Little vegetation. I cannot imagine how it looks like now! The pictures are scans from diapositives, with my new powerful scanner. Still a lot to learn how to improve the scanning.
