I was sitting at my desk sorting through some old photographs and there was a box of Smokey Joe sitting on a pile of books next to me. The soft smokey scent of cade and vetiver reminded me of the smell of tobacco pipes, overcoats, old port and the sound of distant trains clickety clacking over the tracks on a cold, silent night. Of course, I thought of this gentleman. A found photo of a young man taken somewhere in Germany in the early 30s, it is so atmospheric with his face wonderfully lit by the dim street-lights. Moody and melancholy.
Feel the mood with Al Bowly singing Bie Mir Bist Du Schoen:
