Jazz in Goa before 1961? Never heard it ...or heard of it. In fact I never heard /heard of Jazz being played in Goa all through the 1960s and 1970s! Where did Helga hear all that jazz?
There is an old couplet that goes: "Three cities in which Homer begged Fought for the honour of Homer dead" That is not Latin and Greek.It is the reality of art even today.
