I was honoured to get the chance to record Taj and Toumani Diabate a few years ago for the Beeb.
Due to problems with flights from Mali, we didn't start until midnight.
But, what joy to hear the fusion of US blues, and it's origins from Africa.
Finished at silly o'clock, with huge grins all round.
Now thats what I call a good day job.
