#stonesinthewild from a special place. One of my favorite places places to be when I toured with music.
Changes in latitude,
Changes in attitude.

Got your copy yet?

The Stones got around since getting published in October. From Oz to Panama to New York to Canada, London Town, Portugal and Poland. Where will 2025's readers be?

The Stones have been traveling again. Quite a moody #stonesinthewild this time. Probably not enough light to read the book. The ashtray does it for me.
Any guesses where this might be?
