watching Levs funeral on this site last Monday i couldnt help smiling imagining him watching it all  it was  a really beautiful Goodbye the cumbia at the end, the confín with tequila y el día de los muertos.

Back in 1990 i had never heard of halloween. And had been in uk for less than two months and i i think in  chapeltown for a month or so...

And that night some local kids knocked on the door dressed in rags holding their hands towards me saying sth i did not get, ,,, i turned.back and there was Lev standing in the hall of  the house in Spencer Place..I explained to him somehow (my english was not good and thought it was the kids yorkshire accent),, they reminded me of a Dickens book  ,, Lev smiled Kindly and said it was Trick or treat,  and this anecdote was part of my teaching life for 20 years.
